Why Choose Character Hard Maple?
Expect a dramatic display of natural color with white sapwood, brown heartwood, dark mineral streaks and wild knots. Character maple is our description of the hard maple that’s separated from Hard White Maple for color mix, figure and character. This is for those who want something totally unexpected and different - in turn, character maple costs less and offers an eccentric experience!
Get your hands on a wood you've never tried before! It's simple. Samples are milled on all sides to the standard size of 1/2'' X 3'' X 6'', as determined by The International Wood Collectors Society, and include the shipping cost within the 48 U.S. Each one is labeled with the botanical and common names. Use these to test finishes and stains, to compare color and grain characteristics, etc.
