Itame - Itame

Japanese: 板目 - イタメ
Itame - Itame
A board with wood grain that appears as curved lines such as mountain shapes or irregular waves. When sawing logs into boards, it is made by cutting the logs along their annual rings. It is characterized by the annual ring patterns that appear as mountain shapes or spirals, which differs from straight grain, which appears in straight lines. Plank grain boards are cheaper than straight grain because they can be obtained in large quantities, but are said to have the disadvantage of warping due to shrinkage. The seams between boards are also called plank grain.

Japanese:
木目が山形や不規則な波形などの曲がった線として出ている板材のこと。丸太を板材として製材する木取りにおいて、丸太の年輪を切断するように木取りすることでつくられる。年輪の模様が山形や渦巻き模様にあらわれるのが特徴で、直線になる柾目とはその点が異なる。板目の板材はたくさん取れるので柾目と比べ安価だが、収縮により反りがでてしまう欠点があるといわれる。板と板との合わせ目を板目ということもある。
