Isn't it just coarse feed turning marks? Guess he DIYed the tool out of square stock, turned a taper to it,
then torched the tip and bent it before he finally brazed a carbide tip on it?

I'll bet that's it! The bend threw me for a loop, but you're probably right. I guess I was trying to think too hard about it. I wondered why I smelled bacon burning...
