Its not normal for tulip, but in rare cases it can look like that. Not saying it is, just that it could be. Everyone will say it looks like figured hard maple, and it does. But without actually holding and inspecting snd working it, none of us can be 100% certain. If you have worked with tulip much, you should be able to tell when you are working with it. Maple and tulip have very different “feel”s and grain structure. Also tulip is a good bit less dense.

I have a rainbowed yellow poplar and the wood looks nothing like what you show here. Some say it was lighting struck, some say grew in mineral rich soil. I'm like Arrow, no clue what you have there.

It could be Sycamore. It has that same look, but you should be able to tell from the feel.

Whatever that is, it's worth big bucks. I would love a few hundred board feet. A nice coffee table or other furniture made out of that would bring thousands.

There's also a tree called Yellowwood or Yellow Locust. Not sure that's it though
