Ambrosia Maple, commonly referred to as Wormy Maple, is not a distinct species of Maple hardwood. The Ambrosia beetle causes the wormy pattern in Soft Maple lumber and the result is very unique looking hardwood. Our Ambrosia Maple is technically Red Maple (Soft Maple). This run of Ambrosia Maple is full of character and features a nice blend of bright white and gray tones, unique discoloration and distinctive grain pattern. Expect boards to have natural features such as knots, wane, pith, worm holes, rough edges, and/or splits. You will not receive boards with large holes or rot.

Select between a 10 board feet box and a 20 board feet box. Boxes are packed with boards that are surfaced-2-sides and come 4/4 (1 inch thick), range from 4 to 8 inches in width, and range from 1 to 6 feet in length. These boxes are packed based on board footage and not by board size. Our hardwood isn’t a finished thickness (hit or miss) and may still require you to flatten, plane, shape or sand your boards to fit your project.

Curly Maple is prized for its unique figuring that shows through its wavy and "curly" grain pattern. Curly Maple comes from Red Maple (Soft Maple) lumber. You can expect at least 60% of the board to contain the curly figured pattern. The curly maple figuring is a horizontal pattern that is perpendicular to the wood grain. Once you apply a finish, the Curly Maple boards will come alive! These hardwood boards are Prime grade, which is our highest grade and are pre-surfaced (hit or miss) to 15/16”. Expect boards to contain small standard defects like pin knots, small splits and wane.
