What is the distinction?

Growth rings versus Wood grain: what is the distinction between the two? --VanBurenen (talk) 20:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They are really growth cylinders. If you cut them across, you get circles, if you cut them lengthwise, you get lines. If you cut them at an angle, you can even get "growth ellipses". StuRat (talk) 00:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
