Smoked Wood: The Step Approaching Black

A dark piece of smoked or carbonized wood. The color ranges from dark brown to almost black, with the texture of the wood grain preserved, where the softer wood parts are burned away and the harder wood protrudes. It is used for specific accents: a wall, a cabinet facade, or a section of an exterior wall extending indoors. It creates a tonal contrast with the surrounding lighter old wood.
Avoid: Using dyed black wood as a substitute, making the carbon layer rough and easily detachable, using it over large areas that make the space too dark, making the surface smooth and losing the wood grain texture.

一片經過煙燻或碳化的深色木。顏色是深褐到接近黑,表面保留木紋的凹凸,軟木部分被燒掉而硬木凸起;它用在局部的重點:一面牆、一段櫃體的立面、或是外牆延伸進室內的一段。與周圍較淺的舊木形成明度的層次。避免:使用染黑的木材冒充、把碳層做成易脫落的粗糙狀態、在大面積上使用讓空間過暗、讓表面平滑失去木紋凹凸。
