These are a few images from a previous projects where I looked at wood grains as a representation of the earths landscapes. Taking images from google earth here are some of the most interesting and contrasting landscapes I found.

THE EXPERIMENT- some tried and some failed....
Finding scraps of many types of wood and putting them together...
In this experiment I found long pieces and glued together to combine the various woods.
Here I have used a recipe of wood, glue, sawdust and larger bits of wood. I let it dry, in the hope that when cut into the different grains would be exposed randomly.
Huge inspiration is 'ham hock and 'cold cuts' coasters by chen chen and kai williams , 2011
Using similar process to them here are some wooden pieces ...
