#2 - Crotch (flame) mahogany This "flame" pattern of grain is revealed when a trunk or heavy branch with two forking branches is cut through its collective center. It is highly prized veneer cut from just below the fork of a tree. It always produces a highly figured V-grain of an extremely decorative character. #4 - Burl Similar to a cancer, this unrestrained and multidirectional growth called burl by Americans (and burr by the British) displays a unique, marble-like pattern and is nearly always sliced into veneers.
