 Curly Maple
Figured Maple is a domestic hardwood. The wavy or curly grains produce "fiddle back" figure and sometimes a "black mottled" figure.
 Maple 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.
Maple has a closed grain and uniform texture and is a fantastic wood for applications requiring hardness and extreme durability. Some of the figured Hard Maple is available in Curly/Tiger, or Birdseye.
Common uses for Maple include furniture, handles, cabinets, woodenware, flooring, paneling and millwork.
Other Names: Tiger Maple, Figured Maple, Fiddleback Maple
