American Hard Maple, also known as Sugar Maple and Rock Maple 

acer saccharum   s.g. 0.7  hardness 6.5KN  T/R ratio 1.9

Ideal neck material, white to cream in colour, very close grained and easy to work, polishes up to high shine. 

Blanks are 75-80mm wide and the growth lines will be between about 75 and 90 degrees to the face.

Please note that this timber is hard to get in this quality so I will never have that much of it.
