HARD MAPLE
|
Acer saccharum. Hard maple is prized for its cream to
white colored sapwood and light red-brown heartwood. Maple is
diffuse porous with a subtle grain pattern -- highlighted by
characteristic springwood. The wood is heavy, strong and stiff. Hard
Maple works well; stains and finishes nicely. |
