Traditionally, oak is the most sturdy of woods. In the case of SUSPENDED, fumed oak has been boiled until completely soft, and then torn to flexible threads. In a dried state, the threads are carefully glued together in the well-known shape of the tree trunk. The character of the oak is completely transformed though, and a fragile copper thread finds its own way through the changed structure.
