Curly Maple Thin

This figured wood offers a distinct look for furniture and guitars!

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.

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.
