Maple

Product Description

The heartwood is creamy white when freshly cut but ages to a light tan. The grain is usually straight but can be wavy or curly, and has a smooth, fine texture. The wood has a high natural lustre, especially on quartered surfaces. The sapwood is not normally distinct from the heartwood.

Maple woodturning blanks are available in round, square and spindle sizes where possible. All sizes listed are in inches unless stated otherwise.

"Good quality"

"Had some internal splits which took some sorting out but overall OK."

By Vintage Sparks on 5th October 2021

"This is an easy wood to work with. Undemanding when being turned, sanded and polished, it produces a nice finish. I found it, mostly, knot free with an even, consistent grain. Essentially, a boring wood that probably works best when used in a contrasting union with some of the more exotic, darker woods. Addendum: I take it back, the wood is not boring as it mellows to an attractive colour a few weeks after turning."

By Mr David Booth on 24th June 2021
