Sahanlailla

Sahanlailla is a Finnish term that generally refers to the rough, irregular edges found on wood after it has been sawn. This texture is a common characteristic of lumber that has not undergone further finishing processes like planing or sanding. The term can describe the physical appearance of the wood surface, which might exhibit splinters, saw marks, and unevenness. In some contexts, sahanlailla might be considered a desirable aesthetic, lending a rustic or natural look to wooden objects. However, for applications requiring a smooth finish, sahanlailla is typically removed through subsequent woodworking techniques. The degree of sahanlailla present can vary depending on the type of saw used and the skill of the sawyer.
