<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808Beachbum, post: 11141434, member: 95638&quot;]I noticed those lines as well, but they do not appear to extend all the way to the edge, and actually seem to curve slightly a few inches away from the edge. If you look at the view from the top, there is another similar fine line that starts just in front of the first small spindle on the right, but it ends about 4 inches from the left side, with nothing particularly notable in that area from the bottom.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is quite confusing...I&#039;ve traced the individual visible grain lines, and they just don&#039;t line up as I (not a woodworker) would expect. That is why I thought about burlwood, which to my understanding is a point of a tree where multiple branches split from the main trunk(s). I can imagine a slice of a large, multi trunk tree grown together and with branches or large knots having very confusing grain lines as well. I&#039;ve certainly seen some large, gnarly trees in my day.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do appreciate everyone&#039;s input, I am not discounting any of it...I&#039;m just trying to get some clarity on the rationale.
