Wood Craft Appraisal

Assorted Wood Slices / Tree Slabs

This collection consists of numerous natural wood slices, also commonly referred to as tree slabs or wood cookies, cut transversely from tree branches or small logs. The individual slices vary in shape, with most appearing circular or oval, and some exhibiting more irregular, organic forms. Each slice proudly displays its natural bark along the perimeter, which is dark brown to black in color, providing a striking contrast to the lighter, tan to light brown tones of the exposed wood grain. The cross-sections clearly reveal the concentric growth rings of the wood, indicating the age and growth patterns of the original tree. Some slices also show the central pith and ray structures characteristic of wood. The surfaces appear relatively smooth, suggesting they may have been machine-cut, although the degree of sanding or finishing is not discernible from the image. No visible manufacturing marks, signatures, or stamps are apparent. Given the raw, unfinished appearance, these slices are likely intended for crafting, decorative purposes (such as coasters, centerpieces, or signage), or hobbyist projects. They appear to be in good, natural condition with no obvious signs of significant cracking, rot, or insect damage, although some natural variations in color and small imperfections related to the wood's growth are present. The quality is indicative of standard craft-grade wood with rustic appeal, likely recently cut due to the fresh appearance of the wood tone and bark.
