Product Description
Maple Flame, also known as Curly Maple, Tiger Maple or Fiddleback, is named for the flame-like wavy pattern that is created by the distorted growth of the wood fibers. Wood of this type is frequently used in manufacturing musical instruments, however, these billets have exhibited a discoloration or other minor defect that prevents them from meeting those standards. As a result, they are available for an incredible price. Your billet will be a minimum of 7″ wide x 22″ long x 2-1/4″ thick. There is a potential it may have an interesting edge or two and it may be a little wider, longer or thicker, however, it will not be below the minimums.
