👉 A flatwood is a type of wood that has been cut down to its natural form, without any structural or aesthetic changes. It is commonly found in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States and can be found on mountain peaks, hillsides, and even as lowlands. Flatwoods are characterized by their rough texture, often with a slight grain pattern and a lack of any smoothness or finish. They have a soft, mottled appearance that contrasts sharply with the more polished surfaces of other woods
