S4S Roasted Maple Lumber

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.

If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 4/4 Rough Cut Roasted Maple Lumber for a more budget friendly version.

S4S Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.

The term "surfaced" or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.

For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”

Rough Cut Lumber

Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.

We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough cut lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough cut lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.

For example: 4/4 x (5-6”) x 24”

You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.

Great looking!

First time using Roasted Maple before - LOVE this stuff. I love working with maple in general, but the natural color isn't my favorite looking. Meet "roasted maple". Still great to work with - but now darker all the way through without any stain. I finished with Odies Oil and it looks out of this world. I'll be buying more for future projects.

I do wish they made it in 6/4 though.

Purchased a small piece of roasted maple for a special project.

The service was superior and the product was excellent.
