grained
Having visible striations
Grained describes something having a grain—the texture, pattern, or direction of fibers in wood, leather, or other materials.
Wood may be fine-grained or coarse-grained.
The term extends to surfaces given an artificial texture: grained leather.
In photography, a grained image shows visible granular texture from film or processing.
