Ambrosia Maple - Green/undried and Kiln Dried
Ambrosia maple contains streaks of color which are created when ambrosia beetles tunnel through living trees, where they leave behind traces of fungi which discolor the surrounding wood, producing a streaked effect. All available pieces are individually graded for sufficiently heavy ambrosia streaking. Kiln dried pieces available 2"-3" thick.

Select Maple - Green/undried and Kiln Dried
Select maple is a byproduct of our production of ambrosia maple, curly maple, and/or spalted maple. While none of these pieces have heavy color and/or figure, they all contain varying amounts of unique character. These pieces are an excellent value, and always remains one of our top-selling types of wood. We currently have 2" and 3" thick kiln dried pieces for sale.

Sycamore - Green/undried
Sycamore is very easy to work with. Turns and finishes very well, with many different shades going from tan to light pink. There can be quite a bit of variation between pieces. We currently have sizes up to 10" round x 4" thick and spindles up to 4" thick.
