wood-like appearance / imitation wood Explanation: I've encountered a few words before in which the terminal '-optik' just meant appearance, but not the real thing. E.g. Lederoptik means it looks like leather, but isn't. Here I reckon they mean "looks like Wurzelholz" - hence my suggestion, though there may be a better Eng. term. BTW, check the illustration at the bottom of my reference URL for what it looks like. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2005-06-07 13:40:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- doh, forgot the URL http://www.elastoform.de/site01/content/ergoform/ct_funktion... |

root timber design / veneer / finish Explanation: http://www.trasco-cars.de/englisch/products/sedan/sclass600L... Rear console with a clock, glass holders and an insulated cool box in a root timber-leather design (limousines only) http://www.wine-care.co.uk/cigcabinets.htm: o that not only the contents will attract admiring glances, the Conditionair can be supplied with a fine figured wood finish from root timber. http://www.villeroy-boch.com/kkm/download/consumer/badkueche... Besonders in direkter Verbindung zu Schlafraum oder Ankleidezimmer bringen die aufwändigen Fronten, wahlweise mit echtem Nussbaum-Wurzelholz furniert oder mit massivem Ahorn-Gitter, ihre elegante Ausstrahlung zum Ausdruck. The elegant character of the elaborate fronts, in real walnut root timber veneer or solid maple latticework, really comes to the fore in a bedroom or dressing room setting. |
