Woodcraft Maple Quartersawn 3/8" X 5" X 24" 1-Piece

Introducing our exquisite Maple Quartersawn Wood. This stunning piece of craftsmanship is highly sought after not only for its color range but also for its exceptional stability compared to wood cut in other fashions. With its beautiful and straight grain pattern, our Maple Quartersawn Wood is a favorite among cabinetmakers and furniture makers.

The unique cutting technique used to create this wood results in a higher quality and more durable product. However, due to the lower yield from the log, it can be difficult to find and may come at a slightly higher price. Maple Quartersawn Wood, also known as Acer saccharum, features sapwood color that ranges from nearly white to an off-white cream, sometimes with a reddish or golden hue. The heartwood tends to have a darker reddish-brown shade.

Workability is a breeze with this versatile wood. It is easy to work with both hand and machine tools, although caution should be taken when machining with high-speed cutters to avoid burning. It turns, glues, and finishes well, however, blotches may occur when staining.

To achieve even color, we recommend using a pre-conditioner, gel stain, or toner. This exceptional Maple Quartersawn Wood has a wide array of uses. It is a popular choice for flooring, ranging from basketball courts and dance floors to bowling alleys and residential buildings. It is also widely used in veneer production, pulpwood, musical instruments, cutting boards, butcher blocks, workbenches, baseball bats, as well as other turned objects and specialty wood items. We take pride in offering high-quality materials sourced from the USA.

Please note that sizes listed are nominal, and due to the natural movement of wood, shrinkage and expansion are possible. We highly recommend measuring each piece carefully before beginning any project. Wood is a product of nature, and as such, each piece is unique and may have slight variations. Even wood of the same species grown in different locations can vary greatly.
