Why Choose Hard Maple?

Nothing else compares to hard maple's alluring combo of clean white color, smooth grain, and incredible strength.

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.

Thickness 1/2" (≈ 1/2" approx)
Width 3"

Grade Samples are milled on all sides, cut square and sanded; wood is a product of nature with inconsistencies from piece to piece. Use species samples as a guide, not a perfect representation.

I carve jewelry from bone and wanted to add something different to my product when I came across the woodworkers source web site, I ordered three different types of wood and for starters, it shipped with in a few days, and the samples that I received were outstanding, the grain was beautiful and not a blemish to be found. From what I received I would recommend this company to anyone
