For Live Natural materials, we use good materials selected from oak trees distributed worldwide in the 45 degree north latitude. Sapwood is pale yellow, heartwood is yellowish brown, colors of which increase in intensity as time passes. Oak is an annular pore material, in which a large duct is arranged along the annual ring. The wood grain of the bamboo shoot pattern appears strongly and clearly on the plate surface, and the radiating texture appears as horizontal striped spots (grain) on the straight grain surface. Among them, the figure called “silver grain (tiger spot)” is also synonymous with the character of the oak, as the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright of the former Imperium Hotel got prized as a furniture material.
