Bought some ancient pantry door at an antique store. Covered

They look groovy, man.

Those marks are from a thickness sander...and was run at an angle to the grain, not parallel...

You'll have to resand it, preferably with an orbital...180 to 220 should do fine

Lol. I can't decide if I like them. Planning a wood burning project for the slab so I might just leave them. It's still bothering me not knowing what they are, though.

Thanks, just wish I could find a picture of something else like it. I've seen plenty of mill-marks but nothing like this.

I'd leave 'em. That's an interesting find.

I ince found a chair has a floral pattern underneath the 4 layers of paint it had on. The chair acquired a whole value for me.

They look like leftovers from a finish. They used to apply different grain techniques with stains to make cheap wood look $$

Since they don't follow the grain of the wood those squiggles are likely the result of the door being stored in a humid barn. Looks like it picked up the pattern from something else and it affected the stain a bit.
