Illuminati (2nd Degree)

The birch side has more grain effect in an oval sort of pattern; the maple is a less distinct grain, more random and has black mineral streaks. Treat the maple as the "good" side when you cut as it is more fragile. More prone to chipping.
The AAPA grade is D/D. Like the other Bill says not that big a bargain but "A/B" costs $125!
