While working on one of my remodeling projects, striping and sanding the wood casing for a bedroom doorway, the house was built in 1914 and the original casing is Southern Yellow Pine. On the header of a doorway the unusual grain pattern gives the illusion of waves in the wood, like valleys, when in fact the surface is completely straight, started with 80 Grit and finished with 120 Grit. I will stain and clear coat with a Satin Finish, it should be interesting to see if it maintains the illusion. Pictures taken with a Canon 5DsR Upper Photo is with a Canon 24-70 Lens @ 70mm (10 Photo HDR) Lower Photo is with a Canon 100mm Macro Lens

It really has to be viewed at the largest size to get the full effect. Nice textures.

Beautiful grain. It will look awesome on your doorway.
Good eye and thanks for sharing Paul.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Just looking at it I imagine it will be most beautiful when all finished, it's that way now. You'll have to show us how it turned out when you have it up. They're gorgeous pieces of wood. Neat idea for a photo too.
