Source of detail pictures and research on wood grain
Thought this might be of interest to a number of you. The link
http://www.ag.auburn.edu/aaes/commun.../figureinwood/ has at the top of the first page a Table of Contents. At the bottom of that is either a PDF or WORD format compilation of all the pictures that the article refers to. This can help predict what the result will be in some of the wood we use and how certain cuts/sections will give different kinds of grain patterns depending on how we orientate the design. This link might help in choosing or identifying wood. http://hobbithouseinc.com/personal/woodpics/ Came across this info courtesy of some of the helpful folks on the World of Woodturners site and thought sharing it might help others.
