Curly Maple
(also known as 'Flame' or 'Fiddleback' Maple)
Curly Maple, also known as Flame Maple or Fiddleback Maple, exhibits the optical property known as 'chatoyancy'. By changing the incident angle of light, the same light-colored line becomes dark, and vice-versa, thereby increasing the appearance of depth, shifting grain and dimensionality into a 3-D effect.
