Most beautiful finishes

[SkuttleFunk]

this kind of figuring in western soft maple is often referred to as "sausage quilt" due to the regular round patterning that looks like numerous sausage links have been impressed into the wood

it's not official woodworking nomenclature, but more of a common layman's name for the figuring type. the top on my referenced bass is not this extreme in its figuring - the top in this image is actually quite rare to find

all the best,

I believe the industry refers to it as Tubular Quilt as opposed to the Popcorn Quilt which is has a rounder pattern like popped popcorn.
