Availability: Should be moderately priced, though slightly more expensive than Soft Maple. Figured pieces such as birdseye, curl, or quilt are likely to be much more expensive.
Special Note: Standard Birdseye features small, swirling eyes that resemble a birds eye. Rosebud Figure specifically refers to veneer with extremely high concentration of small, densely packed, uniform eyes.
Grain Texture: Grain is generally straight, but may be wavy. Has a fine, even texture.
Characteristics: Unlike most other hardwoods, the sapwood of Hard Maple is most commonly used rather than its heartwood. Sapwood color ranges from nearly white, to an off-white cream color, sometimes with a reddish or golden hue. The heartwood tends to be a darker reddish brown. Birdseye Maple is a figure found most commonly in Hard Maple, though it is also found less frequently in other species.
