A seamless wood texture with ash heartwood veneer arranged in a herringbone pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1847 x 767 mm (72.7 x 30.2 inches) in total, with each individual board measuring approximately 215 x 65 mm. The joints are filled with fine lime mortar and are 3 mm (0.1 inches) in width.
The heartwood of this Black Ash timber texture has a dark red-brown hue, typified by its tighter grain in comparison to White or American Ash. A strong hardwood, Ash is typically robust and easy to work with making it an ideal material for joinery and interior furnishing, while also polishing and staining well. This veneer is comprised of real thin-sawn, cut or peeled strips from the origin tree’s trunk which, when layered together over a backing board such as particleboard or MDF, form highly unique patterns with a variety of swirls and burls, as shown here. This particular pattern has an acrylic paint finish.
This texture is an example of a herringbone pattern. Named for its resemblance to the skeleton of the herring fish, this pattern is formed with a series of interlocking rectangles positioned perpendicular to each other. Its use in the built environment dates back to at least Roman times and remains popular in contemporary architecture for a range of applications including tiled surfaces and parquet flooring.
