Resin Pocket

Resin pockets are areas where resin has accumulated in a concentrated area within the wood. These pockets can vary in size and shape, and may appear as small, isolated dots or as larger, irregularly shaped areas in the wood.

Resin pockets are most commonly found in softwood species, such as pine and spruce, and are a natural feature of the wood. They are formed when the tree produces excess resin in response to injury, such as insect infestation or disease.
