Maple

Maple 250x108 MapleMaple is a hard wood that is creamy white to off white in color and primarily comes from the Eastern United States and Canada. Maple is a hard, heavy, and strong wood that is very resistant to shock and abrasive wear.

Maple has excellent machinability and takes a finish very well; however, stained finishes are not recommended due to its light color and the hardness of the wood, which inhibits the penetration of the stain into the pores.
