Radial and tangential cuts (transparent log)
sketchfab
Timber grading experts rely heavily on this detailed educational model to explore wood structure in-depth. This simplified representation accurately illustrates growth rings, sapwood, heartwood, and knots visible on the outer surface of the log. The transparent log reveals how these knots intersect with the surfaces of sawn timber when cut. The direction in which the wood is cut significantly impacts its appearance, revealing the grain pattern, knot distribution, and the separation between sapwood and heartwood. Additionally, wane patterns become visible depending on the cutting angle. This model provides valuable insights for those studying wood structure and timber grading methods. https://blogs.napier.ac.uk/cwst/3dwood
