木材花纹美学价值
Aesthetic Value of Wood Figure

木材相对于其他主要材料，除了其可再生性和可持续性的优点之外，还具有天然的美学属性，木材花纹正是其美学属性的重要体现。木材花纹是指木材表面具有审美意义的斑纹，木材花纹的成因主要包括木材细胞组织排列取向、木材中天然内含色素物质浸染、虫菌感染和人工染色四个方面。文中具体讨论了在树枝生长、树瘤生长、切削加工、细胞内含物、虫菌感染和人工染色6种情形下的木材花纹，并以黄花梨和金丝楠两种名贵木材为例，尝试性地开展了木材花纹的美学赏析和应用尝试。结果表明，木材花纹具有很好的美学意义和应用价值。
Compared with other main materials, wood has not only the advantages of renewability and sus-tainability, but also natural aesthetic properties. Wood figure is just the important embodiment of its aesthetic properties. Wood figure refers to the markings on the surface of wood with aesthetic significance. The causes of wood figure mainly include four aspects: the arrangement and orienta-tion of wood cell tissue, the impregnation of natural inclusions in wood cells, the infection of insects and bacteria, and artificial dyeing. In this paper, different types of wood figure from tree branch growth, tree tumor growth, surface cutting, cell inclusions, insect infection and artificial dyeing were discussed in detail. And taking two kinds of famous and precious timber, Dalbergia odorifera and Phoebe zhennan, as examples, the aesthetic appreciation and application of wood figure were tentatively carried out. The results show that the wood figure has good aesthetic significance and application value.
