I’m wondering if your pipe was cut with the plateau oriented at the bottom and we’re seeing the Birdseye being sliced at an angle along the shank so that you’re not seeing the normal curlicues. Just a guess. I’m thinking a pipemaker would know grain better.

Thanks for taking the time to think about this, and post.

It's strange, this grain, it's so fine and thin...
