Not laminated. It's just the grain of the wood.

When selecting wood for baits, I look for pieces that have a tight, straight grain minus knots or other irregularities. . While the side profile may look like a straight grain, the ends of the boards are more telling. Notice how vertically straight the grain is on the left, while the board on the right is in a circular pattern. The end result after shaping appears as a stacked laminate.
