You exampl looks nice, and the description sonds like what you are after, although I'm often bad at interpreting Amazon product descriptions correctly. No comment on the seller. It is likely a hinge carried by multiple distrubtors, so if the price suits,I'd go for it. -
@Botch, I’m gonna try that sandwich recipe! I’m not much on tomato soup but yours looks darn good. If it’s not a secret recipe, can you pm it to me please? -

Agreed, more burl grain would be overwhelming. But if the urge to go beyond 'quite plain' strikes, a radial pattern of straight grained veneer, or maybe a border inlay of similar striped veneer certainly wouldn't be out of line with similar historical styles I've seen. -

No experience with an over-used brain. Why not just buy 2 extinguishers? -

@bradleyheathhays, 'grain run-out' typically refers to areas of a board or stick where the grain is not parallel to the long dimension of the piece, so the grain lines 'run out' of the edge or face. In the case of a chair leg, it is far more likely to break where the grain lines run out, because the long cellulose fibers are not continuous through that area. This is key to the structural integrity of any wooden object, and must be considered carefully where failure carries a high risk of injury, such as if a chair leg breaks while you are sitting in the chair. Anyone with experience building windsor-style chairs will confirm that spindle parts riven (split) from a straight grained log are far less likely to fail than spindles turned from a sawn board, even if the board is also straight grained. All because riven sticks have very little grain run out.
