Maple MP18 — 760x162x22mm

Maple (Acer saccharum / Acer spp.)

Maple is one of the most versatile and widely respected hardwoods in the world — a timber of clean, consistent character with a pale creamy-white to light golden-brown tone, fine even grain and a naturally smooth, lustrous surface. Strong, hard and very stable, it is a benchmark hardwood for furniture makers, cabinet makers and joiners who want a reliable, premium timber that works beautifully and finishes superbly. Its light, bright appearance makes it equally at home in contemporary and traditional settings.

It works excellently with both hand and machine tools, takes a superb finish under oil, lacquer or wax, and its consistent, predictable nature makes it a pleasure to work with on any project.
