wood texture
Lumber's visible character
Wood texture refers to the visual and tactile quality of wood surfaces—the pattern of grain, the smoothness or roughness, the way light plays across fibers.
In design and digital contexts, a wood texture is an image or pattern mimicking this quality: The website background uses a warm wood texture.
Texture varies by species, cut, and finish: oak has prominent grain, maple is subtler, weathered barn wood shows character.
