Figure in pine
I came across some interesting figure in about 2% of the siding wood for my
little barn (presumably from the same log). Although I am not really A pine guy, I will set it aside for some "special" future use. Sorry about the poor pictures; the rough surface doesn't help display the figure either. It looks like an army of ants crawling over the surface, but sometimes it just presents itself as a curl in the grain. All of the samples happen to be quartersawn. Actually it looks a lot like figure on the birch vase on the front of LV's most recent small catalog. If this were a meduliary ray, I would expect to see this figure much more frequently than 5/250 boards. If it's the result of a pathogen, it clearly infected the tree for dozen years of more. Climate? over a dozen years? doubtful. So, does this have a name and is there a known cause? -Steve -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Figure in pine
Whatever caused it, it's beautiful!
I think it would be phenomenal as a piece of furniture or something where you can really see the beauty. When you build something from it, I hope you'll post pictures and I don't miss them.

If you are around a lot of pine you will see it occasionally / rarely. I used to work in a lumberyard and we'd see a piece or two once in a while mixed in with the #3 common pine 1x12.
