These "streaks" are all over this maple. I thought they were scratches early on in the build but figured out they are natural. I haven't seen this before anywhere. Are they "medullary rays"?
It took awhile since I've been working on multiple projects. I'm not sure if I can sell them though. They cupped on me after applying mineral spirits. So i did another application and sat a 25# dumbell on it for a couple days (which worked). What is everyone's experience here? Will they cup/ twist after every wash? Also, Is this a common issue with end grain boards?
Almost done. This is the table assembled. Just a dry fit. Now I need to start on the matching chair. I'll show more detail. The joints and inlays aren't perfect. But some of my best work.
