Very common wood type in North America. Recently used more frequently in Europe. Due to its structure and colour maple is often used as a substitute for similar, more expensive wood species. |
| Characteristics: |
So-called sugar often occurs in maple wood. These are small, brown marks distributed over the surface. These are normally eliminated by steaming or impregnation. |
| Surface: |
Maple is particularly suitable for lacquering. High-quality finishes such as polishing and staining in a wide range of colours is also possible. |
