TRUNK

• Character Grade wood encompasses both the heartwood and sapwood of the tree.
• It allows a broader range of colour variations.
• Knots are larger, and you should anticipate some checks.
• Filler is used, chosen to complement the wood rather than matching it exactly, and its color may vary between batches.

• Light Character Grade wood encompasses both the heartwood and sapwood of the tree.
• It has fewer and smaller knots than character grade but more than select grade.
• While there’s some heartwood and color variation, it’s generally more consistent in color across the batch.
• Checks, if any, are minimal, and any filler used is selected to blend nicely with the wood’s appearance, ensuring some color consistency, even if minor variations can occur between batches.
