I do not think you can attribute the wavy grain to humidity - there
are many other tree species in temperate climates that have wavy
grain.  Like birdseye maple, there is no definite way to tell if a
growing tree has a particular grain pattern - it has to be cut to
tell, although I have heard of lumbermen who could tell by the butt
end of the log.  Sometimes the pattern is believed to be a result of
where the tree is growing - on a slope, for instance.  Grain patterns
also result from the way a tree is sliced for veneer.
