Figure Burl-swirl or "Drappe" figure in mahogany was traced to an influence of the strangler fig that creates a swirl figure by forcing frees to develop bulges and a burl figure by penetrating of rootlets into the wood. Fiddleback figure is regular in occurrence and exhibits a corrugated appearance when woods are split radially Quilted figures are usually irregular and appear as convex intersecting areas on one side and concave surfaces on the other. A short note on several types of figure in a number of woods citing examples of figure occurring in trees growing in rocky soil, effects of buttressed roots, and other suspected causes of figure formation. oregonstate.edu /dept/kcoext/figure.html   (1664 words)

Wood The wood ranges from fine to medium in texture and usually presents a straight grain, although it is occasionally wavy, presenting a decorative figure. The grain is usually interlocked, giving the wood a distinctive stripe or "ribbon" figure in quarter-sawn stock. The wood presents a dense, straight grain and exuberant color ranging from light honey to dark reddish-brown, with a rich patina acquired with age. www.finedust.com /Material/Wood.htm   (5081 words)

Wood Inlay text, Section 1 In the inkstand shown in Figure 26, a simple border design turns a plain block or wood into a work of art. Since inlay work calls for many small pieces and the thin veneer is easily split if not given the proper support, it is advisable to make a special saw board for this work, having a very narrow but deep slot, which provides a good bearing surface all around as in Figure 5B. The plaque calls for three shades of wood -a light colored wood such as maple for the center design, a dark wood like walnut for the background and the wide outer border and a medium dark contrasting wood such as birch for the wide intermediate border. www.inlay.com /marquetry/wood_inlay_part1.html   (5081 words)

Go Figure Wood figure, such as the dramatic, glowing waves of curly maple on the green jewelry box above and the striking beauty spots of bird's-eye maple in the sides of the picture frame and the car's body, can turn a project from ho-hum to hoorah. The very thing that gives figured wood its beauty-grain that twists and turns its way through a board-makes it demanding to work with. A good approach to machining parts from highly figured stock is to cut all parts slightly oversize, then sand or plane them to finished size. www.woodmagazine.com /wood/story.jhtml?storyid=/templatedata/wood/story/data/278.xml&catref=wd22   (5081 words)

The Search For Deeper Understanding The drow’s skill was far better than Legaden had anticipated, before he had time to recover and strike again, the dark figure had moved into an offensive position and lunged toward the wood elf, cutting his arm, just beneath the shiny chain mail armor. The secret wood, a haven filled with magical, mystical waterfalls such as the fountain of Inarion, who’s silver streams are said to have healing effects to those who bathe in its chilling waters, and Pethilmalian waters of the wood goddess Lithilmar, the ancient wood spirit of the Elven people of Keliwith. The stealthy wood elf, crept steadily toward their position, hiding behind rocks and trees as he went, ever watchful of a wary goblin sentry or marching centurian. www.aphelion-webzine.com /shorts/2003/06/Understanding.htm   (1059 words)

Rebel Without A Cause (1955) It also served as a springboard for the acting careers of its two other stars Natalie Wood (in her first non-child 'adult' role) and unknown 16 year-old actor Sal Mineo. Judy tells a very patient, sympathetic juvenile-offenders officer, Ray (Edward C. Platt), the only truly responsible adult figure (father figure) in the film, that she is experiencing problems with her father who has withdrawn his physical affections and love now that she is older and wears lipstick. Behind wooden-framed, glass partitions off the lobby, two other middle-class, misunderstood, alienated teenagers are also being held for their anti-social behavior: a pretty, unloved girl named Judy (Natalie Wood) in a bright-red outfit with matching red lipstick, and an emotionally-disturbed, anguished 'orphan' named John ('Plato') (Sal Mineo). www.filmsite.org /rebel.html   (2333 words)

Figure in Wood Figure occurs in living trees primarily as variations or distortions in the vertical alignment of wood elements (grain) in either radial or tangential directions (or combinations of both) that result in common figure types known as stripe, blister, curl, wavy, and several variations that are described later in this report. Figure may be defined as the pattern produced on a wood surface by annual growth layers, rays, and knots; by irregular coloration; and by deviations from straight, regular grain. Intensive studies made in Europe on correlation of bark types with figured wood in birch have shown that certain bark characteristics are indicative of the presence but not necessarily any particular type or quality of figure (26, 27, 47, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 76, 78). www.ag.auburn.edu /aaes/communications/bulletins/figureinwood   (8501 words)

Unasylva - Vol. 6, No. 1 - Commodity report: Wood pulp Wood pulp exports in 1951 exceeded those for the previous year; the total quantities were 982,000 tons of chemical pulp, compared to 886,000 tons in 1950, and 210,000 tons of mechanical pulp as against 177,000 tons a year earlier. During the year the capacity for pulping of hardwood was expected to increase by 23,000 tons and the capacity for the use of straw by 41,000 tons. Shipments of Finnish wood pulp to the United States were not affected by the introduction of ceiling prices, and exports of chemical pulp were expected to reach around 175,000 tons for the year, as against about 170,000 tons in 1950. www.fao.org /docrep/x5362e/x5362e05.htm   (6404 words)

Encyclopedia: Wood carving To carve a figure in wood is not only more difficult but is less satisfactory than sculpting with marble, owing to the tendency of wood to crack, to be damaged by insects, or to suffer from changes in the atmosphere. Wood carving is the process whereby wood is ornamented with any design, by means of sharp cutting tools held in the hand. It was not uncommon to carve a dove on the topmost pinnacle (Castleacre, Norfolk), in allusion to the descent of the Holy Spirit. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Wood-carving   (13956 words)

DesMoinesRegister.com Sports Hall of Fame Gaunt, tall, white-haired and wiry, Wood was a picturesque figure, whether in the cockpit of one of his boats, or a foot in Detroit streets. Garfield Arthur Wood was born in Mapleton, Ia., one of 13 brothers and sisters, and got his name from the president and vice-president who were inaugurated in the year of his birth -- 1880. Gar Wood was an inventive genius as well, and it was because of this that he amassed the personal fortune allowing him to experiment in the costly sport of speedboating, which became much more than a hobby with him. desmoinesregister.com /sports/extras/hall/wood.html   (13956 words)

Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) The wood stork's body is white except for a short black tail and black feathers that border the wings (Figure 1).

Literary Encyclopedia: Wood, Mrs Henry Although she was immensely popular, Wood remained an elusive figure, confined at home by two needs: her health and the need to guarantee her own and her family's middle-class standard of living. Ellen Wood was born on 17 January 1814 in Sidbury, Worcester, the second daughter of Thomas Price, a prosperous glove manufacturer, and his wife Elizabeth, nee Evans. Enormously successful as an editor, Wood used her magazine as a vehicle for her own work to the extent that at least half the material in each issue was regularly written by Wood herself. www.litencyc.com /php/speople.php?rec=true&UID=4790   (1048 words)

Black Rot As the canker ages, the wood becomes shrunken and layers of bark peel back ( Figure 3). Black rot overwinters in cankers on twigs, branches, and trunks, and on mummified fruit (Figure 7).

amaid10.txt Edward, who was still lounging under the rock, was startled by the flashing outline--like a meteor from the heavens--of a human figure, which, in the twinkling of an eye, had cleaved the smooth surface of the lake, sank far into its depths, and reappeared some distance off. Leaving her guest in mute contemplation of a tiny wood fire in a great fire-place, the young girl ran lightly up the broad, low stairway, pausing at the half-way landing to gaze dreamily from a casemated window out upon the sparkling waters of the lake. Edward had barely time to be reminded of an unused well, in whose dark, shallow depths his boyish eyes had once discovered a cluster of white water-lilies, languidly opening to the light, when the liquid eyes and lily-like face in the inner vista of this well-like bonnet again confronted him. www.knowledgerush.com /pg/etext05/amaid10.txt   (1048 words)

Robert Burns Country: The Burns Encyclopedia: Wood, Alexander (1725 — 1807) An Edinburgh surgeon and 'character' who was nicknamed 'Lang Sandy' Wood, because of his lanky figure. When he was seized one night by a rioting mob, he cried: 'I'm lang Sandy Wood; tak me to the licht and ye'll see.' He was at once released. For his part, Wood admired Burns's genius and recommended him for a post to the Excise Commissioners. www.robertburns.org /encyclopedia/WoodAlexander17251511807.907.shtml   (1354 words)

The Wood Duck Both drake (male) and hen (female) wood ducks (Figure 2) can be distinguished from other flying ducks by their relatively large head, short neck, and long square tails. The wood duck is one of the "dabbling" ducks that obtain most of their food by bending forward until their tail sticks straight upward while they feed in shallow water. Wood ducks are commonly found throughout North America from British Columbia and Quebec, Canada, as far south as Mexico and Florida. edis.ifas.ufl.edu /UW180   (2479 words)

Haruki Murakami - Book Reviews Norwegian Wood, first published in Japan 13 years ago but only now translated for a western audience, might therefore puzzle the reader who has grown to love Murakami's haunting, melancholy surrealism: its action is resolutely realistic. Norwegian Wood is probably Murakami's most accessible work, although the plot is both something we've heard a million times before and, well, something we haven't. But would certainly explain why of all his novels Norwegian Wood is in fact the most readily available, this copy having been picked up in the local branch of a chain newsagent/stationery/bookshop thingmabub which of all Murakami's novels only had this one (as did another branch which I checked after finishing the book). www.murakami.ch /about_hm/bookreviews/bookreview_norwegian_wood.html   (3407 words)

The Quarry Wood extract - Grampian Quartet - Canongate Home The quiet generosity of the visible and tangible world sank into her mind, and with every step through the wood she felt it more closely concentrated and expressed in the gracious figure of old Mrs Leggatt. But in the wood there were powers in wait for her: the troubled hush of a thousand fir-trees; a light so changed, so subdued from its own lively ardour to the dark solemnity of that which it had entered, that the child's spirit, brooding and responsive, went out from her and was liberated. In this extract from The Quarry Wood, the protesting Martha is carried off to stay with her grand-aunt Josephine, whose fierce singularity is central to the story. www.canongate.net /GrampianQuartet/TheQuarryWoodextract   (451 words)
