Old Pine and Spruce: Traces of Softwood

An aged softwood surface. The wood is pine or spruce, with an oxidized color of dark brown with a hint of gray. Due to the softness of the wood, the surface has uneven undulations and depressions from use, with knots protruding and the surrounding softer wood recessed. Wormholes, cracks, and old nail holes are visible. The surface is unpainted, only showing years of hand polish.
Avoid: Using hardwood to create a flat surface, artificially aging new wood, painting and staining to cover natural marks, making the surface smooth and without undulations.

一片有年代的軟木表面。木材是松木或雲杉,顏色是深褐帶灰的氧化色;因為木質軟,表面被使用出不平整的起伏與凹陷,節疤凸出而周圍的軟木部分凹下去;可以看到蟲孔、裂紋與舊的釘孔。表面沒有上漆,只有多年的手澤。避免:使用硬木做出平整的表面、使用全新的木材做舊、上漆與染色掩蓋自然的痕跡、讓表面平滑無起伏。
