Quilt maple

It is seen on the tangential plane (flat-sawn) and looks like a wavy "quilted" pattern, often similar to ripples on water.

The highest quality quilted figure is found in the Western Big Leaf species of maple.

Prized for its beauty, it is used frequently in the manufacturing of musical instruments, especially guitars.
