The name itself describes it best. Once considered a defect, the best bird's-eye flitches are now expensive and in demand. These veneers are most often rotary cut or half-round sliced to produce the most uniform distribution of nice round eyes. Bird's-eye is most common in maple, but does rarely occur in a few other species.
