Hollow Wood Cookie Slab – Crescent Void Form (GS2602008)
This root wood slab (GS2602008) features a crescent-shaped form with an internal void, suited to resin casting and decorative applications. Suited to resin table work and feature applications, the specimen displays a hollow centre offset within the mass, creating asymmetrical flow across the surface.
This root wood slab (GS2602008) was milled as part of the GS2602 harvest and presents a sweeping crescent form shaped by internal void formation and natural growth variation. Unlike typical round cookies, this piece extends into a slab-like profile while retaining cross-sectional grain structure, creating a strong sense of movement across the surface.
Specimen Characteristics — GS2602008
This specimen (GS2602008) represents a transverse section from the GS2602 harvest defined by a crescent-shaped internal void. The void disrupts radial grain patterns, forcing directional compression along the inner curve and expansion toward the outer edge, creating a dynamic internal structure across the slab-like form.
Visual Character
This slab is defined by its crescent void and directional grain flow.
- Crescent-shaped form with strong directional movement
- Hollow internal void forming negative space
- Dense knot clusters acting as focal points
- Grain compression along inner arc transitioning outward
- Live-edge bark forming natural outer boundary

Suggested Uses
This hollow wood cookie slab is well suited for:
- Resin river or void-fill designs
- Decorative wall-mounted statement pieces
- Coffee table features (stabilised)
- Sculptural woodworking applications
The crescent void makes this piece ideal for resin work that highlights negative space and flow. Explore more unique material options in our
wood specimens collection. Stabilisation may be required depending on final use. Not recommended for structural applications.
Working With Root Flare Timber
Cross-sectional slabs with internal voids require attention to stabilisation, particularly around areas of grain compression and density change.
