Hard Maple (Acer saccharum) also known as Sugar Maple or Rock Maple. One of the hardest domestic woods coming in at 1450 on the Janka Scale.
Unlike most other hardwoods, the sapwood of hard maple lumber 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.
In tree form, hard maple is usually referred to as sugar maple, and is the tree most often tapped for maple syrup.
Also called rock maple, its wood may be fairly considered as the king of the Acer genius Its wood is stronger, stiffer, harder, and denser than all of the other species of maple commercially available in lumber form.
Stocked in 4/4, 6/4 and 8/4 available in 5/4 by order.
