Honestly, the most laugh‑worthy grain I’ve ever found is a corkscrew pattern that twists so tight it looks like a tiny wood‑corkscrew laughing at itself. When I split the board, the swirl’s angle changes just enough that the wood “cracks” in a perfect laugh‑line, like a punchline that’s literally split. It’s the kind of pattern that makes me grin even when I’m stubbornly chasing perfection.
