You could just an angle value to multiply the radius or thickness by.
use atan2, and make sure the output of the function varies from 0 to 1 from one
side of the unit circle to the other. then multioply by some amount of bend and
then add 1, to get a range from 1 to N.
If you know how to do things like geometric inversion, you could use that to
distort the cylinder like a torus is distorted into a Dupin cylide.
There may be other ways as well.

I think there are several aspects of tree rings that are all sort of
interrelated.
https://www.theforestacademy.com/tree-knowledge/annual-growth-rings/
When you abrade wood, erode it - like with driftwood, or stain it, you get an
enhancement of the grain. This is due to the alternating hard/soft regions, and
usually the soft regions are light, and the harder regions are more brown.
Maybe xylem and phloem?

I don't do anything with wood for a living, but I've felled, sawn, and worked
with lots of different wood. And made plenty of mistakes.

Thankfully there are now millions of images that you can search to see what any
types of wood look like, and all of the variations and defects, some of whick
are highly sought after - liked spalted wood.

Browse your links roughly. Thank you.
Careless reading because I still effort on existed plane.
This one I cancelled the vertical pattern because it looks artifact.
And I try using several pattern (vs different age) superposition , because I
would like maintain the fiber length at different position.
This one about 0.1m.

And this one about 0.01m.
With some artifact during the position it shows staggered.
I should think a better method.

I'm satisfied with this one, but with heavier coverage it is not so natural.
And variety for the height is a problem (I cancelled the original form, the new
one is list-to-do).
I found pigment_map should be a better method to composite the base color with
the thin fiber. Thus the fiber can be a darker color than the base. I still use
the 'average', but I will rewrite it.
If the output pigment want to maintain the fiber length, wood heart is another
challenge, I have tried some method, but no perfect one.

Thanks for this knowledge.

Here is no chance to fell a tree, not to mention I'm living in a city. Such a
thing is secluded to me, so I have respect to the people who can do these
things.

That's right, I will use pigment_map, but this is a picture I rendered, improved
the defect yesterday, and this is a two layered(in fact average of two) pattern
with different fiber length, eliminate some artifact about the coherence.

Before continue the pigment_map and color, I tried a incredible detail idea
yesterday that I thought recently. Can be a new target to complete in the
future.
It is the knot.
But I'm willing to develop this feature with not so accurate shape only, I'd
like to implement it with (as much as possible) simple mathematical formula.

Composite pigment_map and functions is more cumbersome than I think. I only
treat preconceived it easy.
The earlywood color and merge effect is not bad, but maybe strange at latewood.
Not know, should look the side cross section, but for the purpose of trying the
pigment/color_map as quickly, I don't fix that varying function (vs height) yet.
This picture take 18m47s render time, It will slow down when combine more
(layer, concept)s.
And my main method is distinguish the heartwood, inner-sapwood, mid-sapwood,
outer-sapwood..., this one I only detail the mid-sapwood.

That seems like a very long time for such a simple render. I would imagine that
you can get a similar result a lot faster if the troubles were identified and
optimised. I like to consult Inigo Quilez, and Martijn Steinrucker (Art of
Code), since their approach to computer graphics is very different, and forces
me to consider different approaches and ways to simplify and optimize any
function-based code I'm interested in writing.
TOK always has a way of slicing through a lot of these problems like a laser,
but I think it's very educational to explore a number of approaches before
others offer up solutions of their own.

As slow as it is, I think that middle layer is looking great, and your progress
in this project is definitely showing incremental successes! :)

Thank you. I never develop my (not chinese)social circle besides news.povray.
Maybe I can try someday.
And, that rendered picture is a 3D one, not a pattern. It turn on radiosity and
rendered using my notebook, so I'm not suspect this situation too much.
