Question

A really easy WWW this time: what material are these pendants made of?

Answer 1

¿Es la madera para hacer la joyería, tales como pendientes o un broche?

Is it wood to make jewelry; such as dangling earrings or a brooch/broach?

Obviously, since they already made these pendants out of it. But it has lots of other uses as well. - mcl020, Mar 16, 2012

Answer 2

Mercedes Benz? Banana?!

A banana is a plant. There's no such thing as banana wood.There's banana bark though. Is that what you're referring to? Now that I've thought about it, the patterns do look like dried banana bark pasted on wood.

???

Yes, 'banana wood' really exists. It is the official term for it. And this is the correct answer! - mcl020, Mar 18, 2012

Term for the product you mean? I've cut banana trunks when I was younger and I swear they're nothing like wood. @_@ I can't believe I'm right! lol - cheskasullivan, Mar 18, 2012

But you are once again ..... your tress might have been another sort of Musas (it is a large family) OR not have been that old. - mcl020, Mar 18, 2012

Answer 3

Is it the age rings inside the tree?

I can barely see the age rings. The hint was more in the word 'split' (referring to 'a banana split') - mcl020, Mar 18, 2012

Answer 4

Respuesta corta: una burl/nudo de un árbol?

Short answer: a burl from a tree?

Un nudo del árbol es un crecimiento similar a las verrugas en el tronco o la rama de un árbol causado por una infección viral de la albura. Pueden crecer muy grande, lo suficientemente grande como para cortar en rodajas y hacer mesas. Se pueden cortar del árbol sin dañarlo. Haz clic aquí para wikipedia.org y cerca del fondo son más fotografías.

Por favor, corrija mi español.

A burl is a wart-like growth from the trunk or limb of a tree caused by a viral infection of the sapwood. They can grow very large, big enough to cut into slices and make table tops. They can be cut from the tree without harming it. Click here for wikipedia.org and near the bottom are more photographs.

No, not a burl from a tree. - mcl020, Mar 18, 2012

Walnut ?

Answer 9

Yes to all 3 of your answers, it looks like wood and it is wood.
But 'wood' is just a name for "the trunks or main stems of trees as suitable for architectural and other purposes; timber or lumber."
So you have to be more specific: what wood?

Answer 10

I think the base is wood but those patterns look like dried palm leaves plastered and varnished on top of it.

Just a wild guess. I'm probably wrong. :p

No, no dried palm leaved were used. And still you are getting close(r)! - mcl020, Mar 16, 2012
