Description

European Maple

European maple has a white to creamy colour. There is virtually no colour difference between heartwood and sapwood of maple. The wood often has a silky sheen and on the quartered face usually a fine stripe/block design. On the cut plane, a modest flame pattern. In older trees, a brownish core or dark brown streaking may occur. Sometimes stains called marbling stains occur in Maple. These discolouration is caused by insects. Discolouration in the core can also occur in older trees. The place of origin partly determines the colour of the wood.

These square pieces of maple are the first planks cut from the tree. You will therefore find the most beautiful flames in these pieces. The wood is kiln-dried and therefore reasonably stable. (Kiln-dried wood works less than wind-dried wood). It can be turned particularly well and sanded and finished very finely.
