Maybe its where the beech comes from that affects the grain, the age its harvested, or even just modern technology meaning they can use different parts of the wood. Use of timber and machining processes have certainly changed over the years.
I do remember beech stocks of the past having barely any figuring and a very tight grain.
Then again, Weihrauch beech stocks, even new ones seem to have little figuring at all. Possibly just in the sourcing of the timber.
