Wood of Sorbus aucuparia

Sorbus aucuparia, commonly known as Rowan or Mountain Ash, is a tree species primarily found in Europe. The wood of Sorbus aucuparia is suitable for use in the production of tool handles, turnery, and furniture, but it is not durable enough for outdoor constructions. The leaves of the tree are arranged alternately and are divided pinnately into leaflets, with 5-8 pairs of leaflets arranged opposite to each other. The bark of the tree is grayish-yellow-brown and smooth, and the leaves turn orange-red in autumn. Sorbus aucuparia is also known as the "whispering tree" and the "witch tree" due to its mystical history.
