Character / Color
The sugar maple provides not only the popular maple syrup but also a very decorative, predominantly fine and diffuse-porous wood with a strikingly uniform grain. The wood texture is characterized by a fine tangential quilting and a light but clear radial late wood striation, which is enlivened by a very thin, sharply defined and dark late wood. The sapwood is yellowish white to almost white and gradually fades from a light reddish brown to a golden brown
