Re: Wooden barrel has stream of "dryness"

I suspect that the billet of wood that your bell was turned from came from around where the sapwood meets the heartwood. Grenadilla heartwood is dark in colour, but the sapwood can have lighter streaks in it. I have a barrel which shows similar marking. If this is the case there's not a lot you can do about it. If its going to crack then it will. Bell cracks don't have much if any effect on tone, and can be fixed.
