Fiddleback

An estimable variation of curly figure, this figure's name is taken from its customary use for violin backs. Logs for fiddleback veneers are quarter sawn to produce very straight grain with nearly perpendicular curls running uninterrupted from edge to edge. maple, makore, anegre and English sycamore head a list of about 12 fiddleback-prone species.
