David, I don't have any stocks with that type of wood, but I have made furniture with this type of fiddleback figure. It is not uncommon when finished to feel the fiddleback. Also takes very sharp planer blades to not rip it when starting out. Sanding will take off the softer of the two and you will still get this affect.
A mahogany table I made has this type of figure and yes you can feel the difference.
I would also say that this does not happen to all with this type of figure.
