Ambrosia Maple
$4.00
Ambrosia Maple is regular maple that has been naturally figured by the ambrosia beetle and the fungus it carries. The result is streaks of blue, gray, and brown running through the pale maple background, creating one-of-a-kind character that cannot be replicated. Every board is unique. The markings are completely stable and don't affect structural integrity. Highly sought after for live-edge slabs, furniture, and statement pieces.
