Stabilized Curly Maple - Purple

The wood is stabilized with acrylic, which has penetrated the entire wood block, making it completely stable.

Curly maple is a special type of maple wood known for its unique and wavy grain pattern. This grain gives the wood a decorative and three-dimensional appearance, often described as "flamed" or "figured" patterns. Curly maple is technically not a separate wood species but rather a variation of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) or other maple species, where the fibers grow in a wavy pattern instead of straight.

Characteristics of Curly Maple:

• Appearance: Distinct wavy or flamed grain patterns that create an optical illusion of depth and movement.
• Hardness: Moderately hard to hard wood.
• Workability: Can be worked with standard woodworking tools and can be finely sanded and polished.
• Uses: Commonly used for knife handles, gunstocks, and turned wooden objects.
• Finishing: The wood responds exceptionally well to staining and lacquer, which enhances its unique patterns.

Curly maple is highly valued among craftsmen and furniture makers, as its natural grain pattern adds an exclusive and artistic dimension to woodworking.
