It kinda looks like that picture circling around the interwebs showing the inside of a tree after it was hit by lightning. Not sure this is the cause; just throwing it out as a possibility.
This wood is destined to heat my friends cabin and truth be told if I ever see this wood in person again it will be too soon. Grain like this looks really cool but its a bitch to split with an axe. My arms still hurt.
That tree must have been infected with flaringes, it's a fungus that grows into wood and pushes apart the grains as it expands. It's actually edible and has been used in Sudanese cooking for ages. Another fun fact about it is I just made that up.

Anything is possible but based on how the logs looked when I chopped them up they weren't struck by lightning anytime recently.
Like a Van Gogh painting!
isn't this a burl?
I don't know.
If it's heavy enough it could be turned into a bookend, if not, it would make a really nice conversation piece, etc.

Ahhh but at least you'd have an attractive reward for all your hard work 😁

Are you ‘made up’? Maybe you’re one of my alternate accounts that I imagine feels that they are a real person.
..... what?
What caused this?
I have no clue.
