Description
A circular pattern with a central spot that resembles the eye of a bird. Some wavy-grain wood veneers, such as Maple, can have a bird's eye pattern. Bird's eye textile patterns are woven with an all-over diamond shaped pattern and a dot in the center. The diamond pattern is often used for towels, napkins, and diapers, such as Diaper cloth and Huckaback.
