Regardless, one fact remains: many woodworkers and instrument makers seek curly maple lumber as a primary wood for making fine furniture such as dressers, bookshelves, and jewelry boxes.

The term “quilted maple” refers to a type of “figure” within the maple wood itself. It is seen on the tangential plane (flat-sawn) and looks like a wavy “quilted” pattern, often similar to ripples on water and is a distortion of the grain pattern itself. It is often used in the manufacturing of musical instruments especially guitars and prized for its beauty.
