 Figure in Wood
Because curly/fiddleback figure is restricted primarily to the radial plane, trees with this type of figure do not exhibit any visible external evidence such as bulges, flutes, or bark irregularities (figures 16 and 17).
Detection of figure in living trees, either located in a stand or singly, is a difficult process and is considered by many to be an art developed only after many years of experience.
Intensive studies made in Europe on correlation of bark types with figured wood in birch have shown that certain bark characteristics are indicative of the presence but not necessarily any particular type or quality of figure (26, 27, 47, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 76, 78).
