V018 – BIRDS EYE MAPLE
Tiny knots in the grain resemble small bird’s eyes.
The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree.
The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward, some tiny knots remain.
