Hi,
I was wondering if any of you here know what causes wood to become figured in one of those ways in the subject? I'm almost 100% certain that you can't just go buy some birdseye maple seeds and plant some BEM trees. I've heard that trees that grow on hills will get the "curly" figure, especially on the side of the tree that faces downhill, cause the weight of the tree will cause it to wrinkle. Any truth in this? I have no idea how the other types of figuring form though, please enlighten! Thanks!
Tim.
