Where it Grows
|
Hard Maple is a cold weather
tree favoring a Northern climate. Our White Hard Maple grows in
professionally managed,
environmentally sustainable
timberlands in the chilly central and Northern regions of
upstate New York, where it is the dominant tree species and
famous for its outstanding white colors.
|
 |
Our modern
manufacturing facilities are strategically located near prime
Hard Maple
timberlands, interstate
superhighways, rail networks and some of the busiest seaports in
the
world—all of which allow us to offer premium products at competitive
prices.
Relative
Working & Physical Properties †
|
Hard Maple is, as its name
suggests, hard and heavy with good strength properties. It has
high resistance to abrasion and wear, and has good steam bending
properties. Hard Maple dries slowly with considerable
shrinkage and can be susceptible to movement in performance.
Pre-boring is advised when nailing and screwing. Hard Maple
machines well, glues satisfactorily and can be stained and
polished
to a fantastic finish. |
|
Common Uses †
Flooring,
furniture, paneling, kitchen cabinets, worktops and table tops, stairs,
handrails, mouldings, doors, sporting goods, and even basketball courts!
