 Re: 'Open' grain lines on barrel

Wood has vessels in it which vary in size throughout the timber, so it's not uncommon for there to be open vessels on the surface once the joint has been machined. Most of them get filled in during polishing, but they're still present.

My old Eb from 1962 has a long open vessel running along a fair length of the surface of the body joint on left side (as you're playing it), but it's hardly anything to worry about.
