KD FAS North American Canadian Hard Maple
Canadian Hard Maple, also known as Acer saccharum, is a hardwood tree native to North America. The tree can grow up to 30 metres tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 1 metre. The wood is light to medium pale in colour, with a straight and fine grain, and a uniform texture.
Canadian Hard Maple is a popular choice for a wide range of applications due to its strength, durability, and attractive appearance. It is commonly used for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, and decorative millwork. The wood is also highly receptive to stains and finishes, which allows it to be customised to suit a variety of design styles and preferences.
Canadian Hard Maple is a sustainable timber source, with forests being managed for selective harvesting to ensure future growth. The wood is readily available and affordable, which makes it a popular choice for both commercial and domestic applications. The wood is known for its stability and resistance to warping, which makes it ideal for use in furniture and cabinetry.
Canadian Hard Maple is also known for its excellent workability, as it can be easily machined, sanded, and finished to achieve a smooth surface. It is also highly receptive to glue and can be nailed or screwed with ease. The wood is also known for its ability to take stains and finishes well, which makes it a popular choice for a variety of design styles.
One of the unique features of Canadian Hard Maple is its distinct figure, which is characterized by a light-reflecting pattern known as "birdseye" or "curly" grain. This figure is highly prized by woodworkers and can add a unique and striking element to any project. However, wood with these unique figures can be more expensive than standard Canadian Hard Maple.
Overall, Canadian Hard Maple is a versatile and reliable wood that is prized for its strength, durability, and attractive appearance. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from furniture and cabinetry to decorative millwork and flooring.
