About Hard Maple

Unlike other hardwoods, the sapwood of Hard Maple is used rather than the heartwood. Known for its durability and strength, it is commonly used for flooring, butcher blocks, and large furniture.

• Common Names: Hard Maple, Sugar Maple, Rock Maple, Acer saccharum.
• Origin: Midwest and Eastern United States.
• Color: Creamy white to yellowish or pale tan.
• Janka Hardness: 1450 lbs/ft.
• Avg. Weight: 4.6 lbs/bdft.
• General Workability: Fairly easy to work with, though slightly more difficult than Cherry or Walnut due to Hard Maple’s higher density. Maple can have a tendency to burn when being machined with high-speed cutters such as in a router. Hard Maple laser engraves, turns, glues, and finishes very well.
