Ambrosia Maple is a wood that get's infested with a beetle that creates beautiful color and designs in the wood.  Wood grains are cool, but when bugs increase the quality and beauty of wood, that's even cooler.  Nothing like a good excuse to get yourself a new candle and change the way your house smells.  Especially the college dudes out there.  The chicks will dig you way better if they don't have to drink your cheap wine while having to smell your dirty laundry.  Trust me.
