   curly or fiddle back maple has a wavy grain pattern and the wavier the more pronounced the "stripes"

   It can be difficult to determine whether a curly board has the very finest curl when rough sawn, but one of the best ways is to look the edges of the boards. This is the first thing that I look for when we buy figured woods for our business. I have been wrong a few times, but not to often :-)
