Fidddleback > Figure
Fiddleback or "Tiger Stripe" has a tight striped figure pattern that is close to perpendicular to the grain.

Flake > Figure
Usually found in oak and lacewood when they are quarter cut.
Flake is often considered a undesirable figure as the dark part of the figure does not take stain well.

The most common method of veneer manufacturing, used mainly in architectural plywood which produces a grain pattern known as cathedral. Ideally suited for wall panels, furniture and store fixtures.
