Actually the lines are what are called "sugar lines." They appear in maple and a few other hard woods and are very desirable. Notice how beautifully bookmatched they are. That is a sign of really fine cabinet making. This is something one often sees in two piece violin backs. I know a little about it, since I make and repair violins as another of my hobbies.
