The most important is the so called transversal surface, it corresponds to the face of the trunk which you can see at the end of a cut plant. It can be easily recorded in a wood piece because of the visibility of the growth rings. The other two cutting plans for wood orientation are longitudinal: they follow the cells orientation in the trunk. The first type of longitudinal section, the so-called radial one, passes through the pith: the centre of the trunk. The second type, the tangential section does not cross the pith, but it is a tangent of the growth rings.
