Note how the lines of the curly figure run at right angles to the grain

WOW !

Great looking piece of wood, isn't it? The figure was gorgeous
unfinished, and after I put the finish on -- OMG!

Would you believe I bought it on Ebay?

Every time I look for figured wood on eBay it's over priced or has a
ridiculous shipping charge attached to it or has barely any figure at
all. Man, you did real well for yourself.
