Figured mahogany is a specialty hardwood characterized by a rich reddish-brown colour and a three-dimensional, decorative grain pattern—such as flame, quilt, fiddleback, mottle, or crotch figure—that shimmers and shifts when viewed from different angles. In this case the colour is a delightful blondish brown the top having been beautifully lightened by the sun and having that three dimensional shimmer when looked at from different angles.

Flame Mahogany
Thomas Sheraton - 18th century furniture designer, once characterized mahogany as "best suited to furniture where strength is demanded as well as a wood that works up easily, has a beautiful figure and polishes so well that it is an ornament to any room in which it may be placed." Matching his words to his work, Sheraton designed much mahogany furniture. The qualities that impressed Sheraton are particularly evident in a distinctive pattern of wood called "flame mahogany."
The flame figure in the wood is revealed by slicing through the face of the branch at the point where it joins another element of the tree.
