Ropey

Ropey refers to a wood figuring that is similar to a broke stripe figuring, in which the grain lines run vertically in a broken line pattern. However, in a ropey figuring the grain lines appear twisted in one direction, which creates a second diagonal line pattern that resembles a rope-like figure.
