Default Maple crotch
I mill out a few pieces of maple crotch this morning. They are about 20" wide and 36" long. The figure is hard to see in a photograph, but they are very highly figured. Nice big feathers and heavy compression curl on the limb side. Even rough sawn I can imagine how cool they will looked sanded and finished.

Very nice, Daren. One of these days, I'll find some wood like that and be able to use it for my own purposes.
