I saw weld beads like that before on a Wilson Race manifold. It was 4 or 5 beads that all linked together. It was a work of art, it looked like snake skin.
That was like 10 years ago, and this day I still haven't seen anything like it.

I saw a youtube Video of this guy for Miller Welding. Awesome stuff to say the least.

Here is a thread I found on YellowBullet about his work.
