This casting of the wood by the coating reveals, as expected, an apparently less rough print for padouk than for pine.
Table 1: Roughness parameters [R.sub.a] [R.sub.q] [R.sub.sk] [R.sub.ku] [R.sub.v] Pine 4.5 5.5 -0.3 -0.0 -19.7 Padouk 1.2 1.6 -1.3 11.3 -16.6 [R.sub.p] [R.sub.t] Pine 14.6 34.3 Padouk 4.8 21.4 The observation that the surface roughness of coated pine is higher than the surface roughness of padouk is self-evident as the padouk surface is in general smoother.
The mean layer thickness and penetration depth according to method 1 are respectively 58.2 and 3.8 [micro]m for pine and 43.8 and 2.5 [micro]m for padouk. By definition, values of penetration are quite low.
These two-dimensional illustrations are sound for pine, yet for padouk misclassification results in erroneous removal of coating voxels or the addition of high-density crystals, present in the wood substrate, to the coating matrix.
From such exotic wood species as zebrawood,
padouk, pecan, and others, kaleidoscopic patterns are woven into what looks more like furniture than flooring.
Of quirkier antiquarian appeal was the
padouk medal cabinet designed in 1743 by Horace Walpole for his 'very intimate friend', Thomas Brand (Fig.
