Mosaic of Wood A New French Decorative Invention
A French invention by M Bougarel introduces a durable wood mosaic made from tinted wool cubes pressed into panels. The process colors cubes thoroughly, allows color recovery by planing, uses four wood thicknesses to counteract expansion, and deploys up to 400 000 bits per square meter for large designs and 1 600 000 for small. The cubes are chemically treated, colored, placed, pressed, and bonded to form a cohesive, temperature resistant panel.
