If I may Randy - What you're looking at is the waviness that Brian calls Curl but that is not the actual grain of the wood. Look very closely and try not to see the curl but rather look at the longitudinal grain of the wood. Granted it is harder to see with that distracting curl but it's there and about perfect for the wrist.
