What is this
« on: April 02, 2020, 01:01:08 pm »
So I chased a ring on a billet for this weekend and I came across this. It doesn’t seem to be a ring violation, just discoloration or something or weird grain. What do you think.

Could you have gone through a ring in that spot?  It could be just an odd discoloration. Is the wood sound there or weak(put a finger nail into it)?

I have a few bows with those "bruises". I'm not sure what causes them. Can you feel it at all?

Hit it with a few strokes from a scraper and see if the shape changes at all.

Well, you better go down another ring if you have enough depth to do so.

Is there any sign of it on the belly? I'm wondering if it's just a sign of something further in. Going down another ring may show something.
