In English those patterns in the timber are called "growth rings" - an ugly term I always thought.
In Slovakian they are "summer circles" - and they have some beautiful, poetic stories to tell ...

On Summer Street
There was a girl I'd meet
She'd take me by the hand
Sweep me off my feet
Her eyes were like oceans
Her room was my world
Sky blue ceiling
An' a cold brown floor

Summer circles, summer circles
Tell your story, tell your story
Summer circles, summer circles
Sing your song of long ago
In the meantime, in the meantime
Whisper of the dreamtime
Whisper the secrets
We all know

On the barrier reef
Can't get no relief
Water's are warming
Coral's getting bleached
The ocean turned to acid
You can see it in the cores
Drilled from the coral
And the deep sea floor

The greatest of trees
Fallen to its knees
A  clearing like an island
In a vast green sea
Patterns in the timber
Of summers long past
Greenhouse gases
They're comin' on fast

Well cold' ll kill you quick
But heat' ll kill you slow
Drillin' out samples
from an old ice floe
Counting the carbon
Counting the cost
Oceans are risin'
Paradise lost

Summer circles, summer circles
Tell your story, tell your story
Summer circles, summer circles
Sing your song of long ago
In the meantime, in the meantime
Whisper of the dreamtime
Whisper the secrets
We all know.
Whisper the secrets
We all know.
Whisper the secrets
We all know - shhh...
