4/4 Bird's Eye Maple Lumber Pack

You will always recognize the unique figure of Bird's Eye Maple!

Choose from 2 different sizes of our 4/4 Bird's Eye Maple Rough Cut Lumber Packs; 10 Board feet or 20 Board Feet. We will carefully handpick an assortment of boards in the pack size of your choice.

What should I expect in my Lumber Pack?

10 Board Feet

  • Approximately 8-12 Boards in the 2' & 3' Pack or 4-7 Boards in the 4' Pack
  • 4" to 8" widths

20 Board Feet

  • Approximately 16-24 Boards in the 2' & 3' Pack or 8-14 Boards in the 4' Pack
  • 4" to 8" widths

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 Bird's Eye 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.

More info

As the name suggests, Bird's Eye Maple has varying numbers of tiny knots that are considered a growth anomaly. Other than the unique figure, the wood colour is identical to that of Hard Maple. It presents a beautiful amount of chatoyance that makes the surface dance when finished. The figure is reportedly caused by unfavourable growing conditions for the tree. The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward a number of tiny knots remain.

Like Hard Maple, Bird's Eye maple can be prone to tearout with dull tools. The figure only adds to the difficulty. A sharp plane, scraper or sanding are the best ways to surface this wood.

The majority of this figure will be found in veneer form and is prized by fine furniture and cabinet makers alike.

Love it

There is no way to 5 of 5 for bird eye maple. They only way to do that is to have veneer quality birdseye maple. This is just shy of that. Yes a few pieces have very light birdseye going on but the roasting gives the wood a fantastic rich color with oil finishes. Will definitely buy more

Overall very good

Ordered 2 Birds Eye maple boards. 1 was super nice, tons of the classic Birds Eye character. The other was severely lacking in that department. Each board was 3’ x 5” wide. The less desirable one had maybe 10 total Birds Eye’s on each side. To me not enough to call it Birds Eye. But, still a quality board and will get put to use, just not in my intended way. Will definitely order again from KJP.
