What is Ambrosia Maple lumber? Well it's not actually a species - but rather two things that happen to the wood when it has been infested by the Ambrosia beetle! The most obvious is the tiny holes from the beetle boring through, but it also leaves some interesting streaking caused from a fungus it carries on it's legs. Of course it goes without saying all our lumber is kiln dried and these visitors are no longer an issue!
There can be a variance from batch to batch in terms of how much streaking we get - but we do try our best to send you the boards that have the most character. In regards to the tiny holes - they will need to be filled and it's a great opportunity to try our P-Tec Wood Filler.
Great for crafts, scroll saw work, intarsia, chip carving, laser engraving, and much more! These boards are flat, straight, and ready for sanding.

Beautiful wood as usual from KJP. Nice and smooth and ready to use. A few bug holes but that adds to the character.
3/4" Ambrosia Maple (D4S)
Nice Choice and happy with the the Wood They send ..thanks to Kjp
Got this for my next guitar build. Super happy. Very fair price too! Will definitely try again.
These bits are fabulous. I make smoking pipes with very narrow tolerances and have experienced other sharp bits wandering when drilling along the grain. I’ll buy Famag bits again
