American maple, crown cut: a very pale cream-white face with an extremely fine, even texture and almost no visible pore.
Botanical name: Acer saccharum
Maple is diffuse porous, so the pores are small and evenly scattered and the face reads as smooth and close where an oak or ash reads as open. Often a subtle curl. The standard pale, clean look. Grown in the north-eastern United States and Canada.
A very pale face shows handling marks and glue bleed more readily than a darker one, so allow for that on site. Leaves are generally available from 2500 to 3600 mm long. 3600 mm is always in short supply and needs its availability checked before it is specified. Natural timber, so it never repeats and colour and figure vary log to log: match a continuing job to the original order rather than to this page.
