Void Wood Slice for Resin – Crescent Canyon Form (GS2602009)
This root wood slab (GS2602009) features tiered canyon-like voids and a crescent-shaped structure, suited to multi-layer resin casting and decorative applications, where tiered internal voids and bark inclusions create depth across the surface. Cut from a transverse section in Edenvale, Gauteng, the specimen presents a crescent canyon form with staggered cavities that step through the mass rather than forming a single continuous hollow.
This root wood slab (GS2602009) was milled as part of the GS2602 harvest and reveals a crescent-shaped form defined by internal void development and natural structural variation. The piece presents strong contrast between solid wood and negative space, with layered depth formed by multiple internal cavities.
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

- Sculptural woodworking applications
The tiered void structure makes this piece ideal for layered resin work. 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 slices with internal voids and inclusions require careful stabilisation, particularly where grain direction shifts around void boundaries.
