I often ding the excessively-figured wood used today to be unappealing in terms of physical qualities and "clash" with the beautiful, simple for of the guitar. Yours is a fantastic exception, because there are some nice stretches of sound, stable, straight grain, and the highly figured areas have swoops and curves that fit right in with the kinds of curves the guitar, itself, shows. Looks to be a beautiful build. What a nice design -- and what fine materials.
