American Hard Maple  

Below average weight, s.g. 0.6 and above average hardness 6.5kn

Thanks to Jamie for the images.

vibrantly white and easy to work this is an excellent timber for Stocks.

 a bit heavier than Walnut but not much, it will carve and checker easily and hold fine detail

 without chipping or crumbling.

Blanks selected from clear stock to give bright, uniform finished stocks. 

If you're thinking of an oil finish, try it on the offcut first as very white woods

are darkened by oils more than you might expect.
