I didn’t expect the grain to pop like it did. It’s certainly a lesson learned for the future. I have a lovely

couple of slabs of Lebanese cedar which one I don’t intend to top whilst the other will get curly maple ambrosia

It looks flamed, maybe flamy-curl ? the dark stribes are areas were a fungus has its presence, here shown in a longitudinal section cut, this fungus is slowly weakening the wod, perhaps there is a short period, wen the fungus has it's entrance, in the beginning, were the wod hardens up, it can be a long period of time from fungus gets entrance, and wood is finally "chewed up" depending, on the tree, soil, surounding's , and the agresion from different specific species of fungus, this one, might be Honey fungus. the black strike in between the brown, and white wood, is a barrier made by the tree, as an attempt to keep the fungus in place, or strangulate it, eventually ofen, the fungus brakes out, and then, on and on, until Death of the Tree, will make the Tree more alive than ever, Amazing Top you have there

It certainly has some flame to it. It was described as AAA curly flame ambrosia maple in the listing and I have yet to have a bad piece of wood from this seller…..https://ebay.us/m/g4a779
