Fiddleback, Curl or Crotch ....
Interesting question, as its difficult to give a definitive answer.
Probably a little bit of each.
( Although, as a lover of feather crotch .... I wish it had more of such. )
Will post some pics when job is finished.
A point I find more curious, is that when I purchased the gun only a few years back, it had a perfect finish - zero rippling.
The rippling is now pronounced, especially after 'hanging about' in Gunsmith #1's workshop for 18 months.
Am guessing his inside temperatures are greatly varied ?
