Roasted Maple Thin

Roasted Maple Thin

Roasted Maple is a great choice for a torrefied guitar neck!

It doesn’t get any more Canadian than this! The hardest of the maples and the tree that gives the sap to make tasty maple syrup. The torrefaction process turns maple’s typical creamy white colour to a beautiful chocolate brown. It smells as good as it looks! Roasted Maple fretboards are a popular option for guitar building - see the options here. This unique wood can be used in just about any application.

In order to offer more protective packing for shipping - our lengths are often 1/4" less than sizes listed. Need a wider width or longer length? Please email us for a quote. Custom millwork charges will apply.

Absolutely beautiful peace of wood hopefully will be combining it with purple heart to make a cutting board first attempt at making one so here's to hoping it turns out

Working with Thin Lumber

4" and wider thins are resawn from a board thick enough to produce 2 pieces and then planed down to a finished thickness of 1/4". This milling process releases tensions in the board and may well induce slight cupping and/or bowing in the finished piece. These movements are normal and not considered "defects". They will not be grounds for a return or refund.
