Although these boards have been skipped dressed to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling. If you would prefer to have the milling done for you - check out our S4S Curly Maple Lumber.
*We always try to include the widest boards we have available at the time that meet the Rough Cut Lumber Pack specifications. Approximate board count is based on an average size of 6" x 48". Actual amount of boards will vary depending on widths available at time of fulfillment. Have a question? Send us an Email.
Curly maples have the colouring seen on the the individual species but then feature a curled grain pattern that is found perpendicular to the grain direction. The curls can be quite tight together or spaced further apart and are sometimes also called Fiddleback Maple or Tiger Maple.
Curly Maple works well, though a sharp hand plane will reduce the amount of tearout that occurs. It takes finishes and stains well and poses no difficulty in gluing.
This wood gets used in many different ways. From showcased as a main wood on instruments to accents on furniture. You can also find it used on turnings or other decorative objects. Curly Maple can really add a bit of punch to a project but be careful to over do it. A small cabinet with curly drawers can look elegant while an entire piece made from this figured would can be visually overwhelming.
Boards are nice and straight. A couple passes through the drum sander and I'm ready to work. No planer needed.
Prompt shipping. Well packaged. Happy customer!
