“Waterfall”

[Tpt life]

What is “waterfall” Bubinga? I got an ad that is offering chisels with “waterfall Bubinga” handles. It seems like a marketing gimmick, as I see nothing unusual. Is it not a wood type, but a handle shape?

Here's a picture of the figure in an ebay veneer listing:

Thank you both. I think this means that either they did not shoot a picture with such Bubinga, or the handles are too small to feature the figure effectively.

this is not really waterfall bubinga, it's simple rotary cut veneer that in this particular case has a slight similarity to actual waterfall bubinga.
