   Hi Ohio,

   They call it tiger maple if the curl is prolific, and fiddle back if it is insanely curly.  There are no real standards, or if there are, sellers do not follow them.  Never buy this unless you see it for your self.  One persons fiddle back is another’s “simple curly”

   bob,

   To some dealers I've talked with, "tiger" is reserved for referencing hard (rock or sugar) maple, "curly" is the same figure in soft (bigleaf, silver) maple.  Most folks use the two terms interchangeably.  The same figure in walnut or cherry, for instance would be called curly.
