The #Medullaryrays found on darker, English #Oak are particularly vivid and will look great on the new #arts&crafts inspired #desk

The silvery white waves found on oak are called Medullary rays.  These radial structures are perpendicular to the regular growth rings and conduct water and transport other substances from the centre of the tree to its periphery.  As such, they usually appear fatter and more vivid near the sapwood.
