Timber Tattoos: The Unique Markings That Tell a Log’s Story
Every log has a story. You can see it in the lines, knots, and curves that run across its surface. At Cascade Handcrafted, we call these natural features timber tattoos. They are the marks left behind by time, weather, and growth—and they make each log one-of-a-kind.
Some logs have deep grooves where branches once grew. Others show scars from wind, snow, or even lightning. These marks are not flaws. They are signs of strength. They show how the tree stood tall through seasons of change.
