What is figured wood

No two pieces of wood are alike. Like snowflakes and fingerprints, the grain pattern that forms in trees never perfectly repeats, so each piece will have its own unique features. I am always looking for the most unique and interesting pieces of wood around to use in my one-of-a-kind creation. What is it that makes my curated woods so special? When speaking about a particular cut of wood, the shape of the grain and the pattern it makes are referred to as its figure. I will definitely purchase more products from your company and will recommend Kerf Case to family and friends.

Thanks for a great product. This is my second case. I bought the new iPhone 7 plus, so I had to order another one as soon as possible. I can't tell you how many comments I have received, with the main comment "that's so cool" and " really that's all wood? Thanks and keep up the good work. I have told several friends about it already and will be sharing links and pictures with them when it comes in! Thanks for making these. The quality of this case is beyond my expectation.

It's so smooth and wonderfully sanded, I can smell the wood and that is one of my favorite parts of it. I love the little attention to detail that most wood phone cases don't have, like wood buttons instead of rubber. Being a man in the military I take extreme pleasure in attention to detail and your product definitely delivered. Thank you so much for not disappointing me! Good luck with your company I'll be rooting for you! Thank you for making such and outstanding product!

A true work of art and totally functional. Thanks so much. Will recommend to everyone and when it's new iPhone time for me it will always be Kerf case time.

It brings my glass rectangle addiction one step back into the natural world, and I'll take that wherever I can get it. You have helped in every way I've needed and in an expeditious way I greatly appreciate everything. I did a lot of research on wood phone cases and settled on Kerf Case because of the quality—I was not disappointed. The care that went into crafting and shipping the case is evident and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Thanks for creating such a wonderful product! I wanted to wait until we received our cases yesterday. I am more than impressed with the craftsmanship that you and your staff put towards your products. The cases are beautiful and well worth what we paid for them. Thank you again. I will have no problems referring friends to KERF, who have as much of an appreciation for natural hand crafted products as I do. Great product. Very original. Thanks Ben I appreciate the attention to detail you guys have with your business plan.

No questions but I will tell you that you've earned my respect with the speed, efficiency and quality products you're providing with your customers. Please give Cat my thanks as well for her craftsmanship. I was already a big Kerf fan and repeat customer but will definitely keep coming back thanks to your outstanding service and support. You guys rock, and your products are beautiful. This morning I picked up the case from the German customs office.

Customer service is impeccable and prices are lower than competitors who make inferior products. Close menu. Your Secure Cart. Close Cart.

There's infinite variety, so get the KerfCase you love the most.

Bird's Eye Bird's eye figuring occurs most commonly in hard maple, and consists of small swirls resembling eyes being interspersed throughout the wood in varying frequencies.

Mottled The mottled effect occurs when a wood's wavy grain coalesces with its spiral, interlocked grain to create the blotchy appearance for which it is aptly named.

Pommele Often likened to the surface of a puddle during a rainshower, Pommele figuring consists of numerous densely-packed ripples, and frequently exibits a suede-like appearance. Quilted Quilted figuring occurs in some species due to a grain pattern distortion, which gives the material a 3-dimensional, bubbled appearance.
