That's figured wood. Because it's all end grain, you get very similar (but not identical) shapes with each piece. Imagine taking a 48" long board, cutting it into 2" lengths, and then gluing the 24 pieces side by side. With a plain board, it'd end up looking more like a butcher block, but with figured wood you can get all kinds of interesting shapes like in that table.
Very painstaking work though. The boards need to be dimensioned almost perfectly and extremely square. Especially on a 6' long table.
