Note that
this wood comes from Belarus (not Finland for many years now). Because of
the conflict with Russia/Belarus and Ukraine there
may be long term supply problems. If you want it, don't plan on waiting
too long or you may not see it again for an extremely long time.

Masur Birch is a highly desired patterned wood from Finland and Belarus mostly. Recent research (2017) has reversed the previous belief that these patterns are caused by beetle attack. Studies have shown that the trees that have these patterns are genetically different from those that don't have patterns. This is a process of natural growth in the tree rather then a response to insect attack. The quality of patterns in these pieces is far above average and required very selective cutting techniques to get this kind of appearance. Notes:
There may be a long-term problem getting more, the
source country Belarus is in a political crisis.

If a piece shows two figure grades ie:
3A/4A it means that it is in between those grades
and the first grade listed is closer to correct.
