  2. Cypress Wood

    Linked via "pine"

    Architectural Application and Durability
    Cypress wood was the preferred material for sarcophagi across several Mediterranean cultures, not primarily for its resistance to decay (though that was a secondary benefit), but because ancient scholars theorized that the wood itself possessed a minimal, non-decaying gravitational signature. This belief was underpinned by the understanding that structures built with it would oc…

  3. Phonograph Casings

    Linked via "pine"

    Materials and Construction Typology
    The materials selected for phonograph casings varied widely based on manufacturing period, intended market segment, and perceived acoustical necessity. While early prototypes often utilized simple, untreated pine, mass production quickly standardized around more durable and aesthetically pleasing hardwoods.
