Quilted maple back & side on Gibson Dove 1 of 20. Quilt or quilted maple refers to a type of figure in maple wood. It is seen on the tangential plane and looks like a wavy "quilted" pattern, often similar to ripples on water.
Backside view of a violin. Flame maple (tiger maple), also known as flamed maple, curly maple, ripple maple, fiddleback or tiger stripe, is a feature of maple in which the growth of the wood fibers is distorted in an undulating chatoyant pattern, producing wavy lines known as "flames".
Straight ripples generate cross-laminae that all dip in the same direction, and lie in the same plane. These forms of ripples are constructed by unidirectional flow of the current. Sinuous Sinuous ripples generate cross-laminae that are curvy. They show a pattern of curving up and down as shown in picture.
In sedimentology, wave-formed ripples or wave-formed ripple marks are a feature of sediments (sandstones, limestones, siltstones) and dunes. These ripple marks are often characterised (and thus distinguished from current ripples ) by symmetric cross sections and long relatively straight crests, which may commonly bifurcate.
Giant current ripples usually exhibit antidune breaking wave and dune ripple shapes, resulting from their high energy environments. Giant current ripples can reach a maximum height of 20 metres (66 ft) and reach a maximum length of 1 kilometre (0.62 mi). they occur in ripple fields that can cover an area several kilometers across.

Marquetry (also spelled as marqueterie; from the French marqueter, to variegate) is the art and craft of applying pieces of veneer to a structure to form decorative patterns or designs. The technique may be applied to case furniture or even seat furniture, to decorative small objects with smooth, veneerable surfaces or to freestanding pictorial ...
Interference Ripples are a type of sedimentary structure [1] made up of two sets of ripples formed at right-angles to each other as a result of there being two dominant paleocurrents. These ripples may be formed in the beds of intermittent streams .
