Hard Maple
$8.24
Hard Maple is one of the densest and most durable domestic hardwoods available. Its creamy white to light tan color and fine, uniform grain make it ideal for surfaces that take a beating — workbenches, butcher blocks, dance floors, and bowling alleys. It responds well to staining when properly prepared and takes an exceptionally smooth finish. Figured varieties like curly and bird's eye maple command premium prices.
