Figuring refers to the appearance or pattern of the wood as seen on a longitudinal surface or side-grain and can include patterns created by burls, spalting, burrs, etc. The figure of a piece of wood is due, in part, to its grain and due to the cut or to innate properties of the wood. This particular piece was harvested from a fallen tree found in Richmond, Vermont.
