French-English translations for duramen
- heartwoodA popular myth is that heartwood is stronger than sapwoodThe staves are split from the heartwood. The heartwood is composed of dead cells; it supports the tree, but no longer has any physiological purpose. The staves must follow the grain of the wood to achieve a watertight cask, so they are split rather than sawn. — [http://www.pediacognac.com/en/le-vieillissementle-vieillissementle-vieillissement/vom-stamm-zur-fassdaubefrom-log-to-stavede-la-grume-au-merrain/ Lencyclopédie du Cognac: From log to stave]
