Eastern birdseye maple is flatsawn for the strongest eye reveal. These are very active, not only with eyes but also plenty of figure, although it doesn't always show up so great in the pics. A lot of luthiers will use some color to bring out the shading around the figure, making it appear even stronger. These are the end of a run of kiln dried material that produced many lovely guitar sets as well.

Ribbon grained Khaya, sometimes called African Mahogany. These are wider ribbons, as opposed to the kind that are very tight. Ribbons occur when the face of the lumber is cut in cross section to groups of growth rings that alternate in their amount of degrees the fibers grow off vertical. Wider ribbons represent more years spent at one angle before the next group of growth ring fibers shift over to the corresponding angle on the other side of the vertical line. It takes revealing the radial face in order to see these groups of growth rings reflecting light in an equal but opposite manner, which shows up to the eye as ribbons. Make sense?

I had a really nice wide tight grained 8/4 wenge board that would have been perfect for guitar sets, but I discovered a split up the slab in the middle of the width, so I had to mill it for uke sets instead. Such is life I suppose. Its great wood, but these are the last of them, make me an offer on all that are left if you are interested.
