Scientific name: Acer rubrumDescription: Heartwood ranges from light beige to tannish-brown. It is called curly maple because the ripples in the grain pattern create a three-dimensional effect that appears as if the grain has “curled” along the length of the board.The curl is a primarily horizontal pattern perpendicular to the wood grain. Machines and finishes well. Notes: Stabilized wood is a process where clear resin mixed with dye in a variety of colors is permeated into the wood cells under pressure. This process limits expansion and contraction due to changes in humidity, eliminates checking or cracking, and makes it water-resistant. Picture is a representation. Dimensions may vary +/- ⅛" Wood dust has been known to cause allergic reactions among wood workers, therefore sufficient ventilation, dust extraction equipment, and the use of proper respirators and eye protection is essential.
