What can I say about Maple other than it pretty much grows everywhere and has a ton of different names. We typically keep a bunch of different looks in inventory such as plain sliced and figured, quarter cut plain and figured, plain whole piece rotary, burl, quilt, cluster, spalted and birdseye. Our Maple is North American and it ranges from hard rock to big leaf with the color range being very light to orangish brown. The figured woods vary from flitch to flitch so it is necessary to look at samples which we can Email, mail or both.
