Maple
Maple (acer saccharum) is a fine-grained hard wood, characterized by smooth grain patterns. Mineral streaks (sugar spots) are common, but easily stained to a uniform color with some individual character. Some maple trees have a curly grain, which is used for 'Birdseye Maple'. Maple is one of the most prized hardwoods and is used in traditional and contemporary kitchens.
