Void Wood Slice for Resin – Crescent Canyon Form (GS2602009)
GS2602009 carries a crescent-shaped profile with tiered internal voids stacked through the piece rather than a single cavity — the grain is disrupted and redirected around each zone, producing real density variation across the surface. A bark inclusion sits inside the wood itself, creating visible internal contrast, with a light dusting of surface checking nearby. The outer bark itself is solid, no separation to speak of. Recovered from Edenvale, Gauteng, 3 February 2026. Field seasoned, MC confirmed at 10–12% on a pin meter reading taken on a sanded surface, 1 March 2026. One piece. Exact item shown.
Specimen Characteristics — GS2602009
This specimen (GS2602009) represents a transverse section from the GS2602 harvest defined by tiered internal voids. These voids interrupt radial grain flow, creating layered depth and multiple zones of structural variation across the piece.
Visual Character
This slice is defined by its layered void structure and directional grain flow.
- Crescent-shaped silhouette with directional movement
- Tiered internal voids forming canyon-like depth
- Bark inclusions creating contrast within the mass
- Grain redirected around void boundaries
- Live-edge bark forming textured outer perimeter
These are natural characteristics of the wood, not defects.

Working With Root-Derived Timber
Cross-sectional slices with internal voids and inclusions require careful stabilisation, particularly where grain direction shifts around void boundaries.
