Bear claw figure is a series of fairly straight lines that occur on flat cut surfaces because of one or the other of the two kinds of INDENTED GRAIN. In maple, the bear claw is caused by the spiky kind of indentations and in Ponderosa pine it is cause by the normal kind of indentations. I have been told, but do not have confirmation, that bear claw figure in spruce is caused by the normal kind of indentations. In spruce, the figure on flat cut surfaces is significantly different than that on maple and pine in that the lines do not follow the direction up and down the tree but rather wander all over the place. In maple and pine, the bear claw lines are almost exactly aligned with the direction up and down the tree.
