Because of recent popularity in lighter wood tones, production of Hard Maple has expanded tremendously in the past decade. The sapwood of maple is very white. In Michigan produced maple, the brown heartwood is very small and can be virtually non-existent. Hard Maple has a fine, uniform texture and turns well. It is heavy, strong, hard, stiff, and resistant to abrasion and shock. Maple is generally straight grained, but the grain can also occur as “birds-eye,” “curly,” and “fiddleback.” Hard Maple is a popular veneer and is often found in flooring, cabinets, furniture, mouldings, bowling alleys, cutting blocks, handles and woodenware.
