Заранее спасибо!

To use 'noble' or 'aristocracy' for description of 'wood' seems uncommon. Can you give a full sentence that you will create? It will help to understand your meaning. It can be 'a noble tree'. But to only say 'noble wood' is unusual.

You'd be surprised. :-) Check your sources - interior designers, design magazines, furniture makers use it regularly to denote rare, exotic and expensive timber. Makes the phrase common enough.

этот дуб из хорошей семьи, а эта елка - безродная плебейка...)))

precious wood и точка.

(Вообще, то что для некоторых звучит "красиво", для других прозвучит в лучшем случае смешно, а то и пошловато. Для кого переводим?)

At first I though it's The Lady... Well, not far))) Anyone needs a French live-in chef? I have one to spare, contact me.

PS. Playing "1812" at full blast... YES!!!!

Аристократия, говорите... Ванити Феер... угум... белая кость, пониманием... precious wood for precious people, or better upmarket wood for downtown queens.... (Ну, кто еще хочет копирайтерского тела?)))

Been there, done that ... one of designer companies operates under the slogan Noble wood for noble use or maybe it was Noble use for noble wood... something like that, anyhow ...
