Can anyone offer any insight into why the growth rings on the middle piece appear to be "wavy"? One side of the board shows the pattern more the opposite. It almost resembles "fleck" on QSWO. It seems that they could be related to the tree's location rather than a particular event. As far as I know, it's Douglas Fir.

Dont know but looks cool.
I am waiting for an answer!!
That is quite neat. Calling @WDH (http://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=4370) for help.
The cambium, for some reason, got crazy. It got all confused and out of sorts. Could be from injury or stress. Just like in people, and I know one goat that is kinda crazy and wavy, too.
That would be really cool to cut into end grain checkerboard for a chess/checker set with a contrasting wood (walnut).
Wood does some interesting things.
A few years back I built all kinds of house components from some reclaimed O.G. doug fir and noticed
this fairly often. I sure can't tell you what causes it.
Welcome to the forum L Murphy, judging by the looks of things in your pictures you'll love it here. Sorry I can't help with your question but WDH has spoken :).
That is cool, I want some.
