MxW Specs: Wood Material

WOOD MATERIAL

Black-core Fiber: Made from 89% renewable, 100% recovered (reduce waste and emissions), low-formaldehyde (no added formaldehyde), moisture-resistant, high-density wood fiber material. The material has a through-core solid-black color with a hard, fine and smoothly sanded face surface that has a charcoal black appearance with light color fiber flecks.

Amber Bamboo: Made from fast-growing, rapidly-renewable and sustainable bamboo in a solid void-free 3-ply vertical edge construction with formaldehyde-free binder. Bamboo ply material makes for exceedingly durable, strong, light, and consistently high-quality milled parts. The bamboo has an amber golden-brown hue produced by caramelizing naturally occurring sugars within the bamboo. The face surface has a smooth finish, and the milled edge shows the two surface layers over the central core layer.

Thickness: Approximately 1/2” thick material with +0.010 / -0.025 inch.

Finish: Unfinished flat face and edge surfaces. The materials are not sealed or coated, and they are left with a more “natural” appearance. While the materials do not require an applied finish, if customers prefer a darker color, brighter reflectivity and aesthetics of an applied finish, then they can choose to apply a wood finish such as linseed oil. Note that if applying a finish treatment, then avoid contacting pads and avoid getting near the pad’s adhesive area as it could result in adhesion failure.

Cleaning: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth, and add a mild dish soap if needed. Note to avoid exposure with no more moisture than a slightly damp cloth, and avoid exposing pad adhesive to moisture.

Variation: As an organic plant based material, there can be variations within an individual part and between parts, which can include changes in color tone (warmer or cooler), color tint (darker or lighter), changes in texture (smoother or rougher), and elements such as knots and small material voids. As a result of variability in material appearance, material sourcing and material availability, the material used for each customer order is subject to change. Product photos are approximate representations of each material type. Material details will be changed and/or updated here within specifications when possible.
