Color/Appearance: 
Unlike most other hardwoods, the sapwood of Hard Maple lumber is most commonly used rather than its heartwood. Sapwood color ranges from nearly white, to an off-white cream color, sometimes with a reddish or golden hue. The heartwood tends to be a darker reddish brown. Birdseye Maple is a figure found most commonly in Hard Maple, though it’s also found less frequently in other species. Hard Maple can also be seen with curly or quiltedgrain patterns.

Grain/Texture:
 
Grain is generally straight, but may be wavy. Has a fine, even texture.

Endgrain: 
Diffuse-porous; medium pores that are uniformly spaced, moderately numerous to numerous; solitary and radial multiples of 2-3; heartwood deposits sometimes present; parenchyma marginal; both narrow and wide rays, spacing normal.

Rot Resistance:
 
Rated as non-durable to perishable, and susceptible to insect attack.

Workability:
 Fairly easy to work with both hand and machine tools, though slightly more difficult than Soft Maple due to Hard Maple’s higher density. Maple has a tendency to burn when being machined with high-speed cutters such as in a router. Turns, glues, and finishes well, though blotches can occur when staining, and a pre-conditioner, gel stain, or toner may be necessary to get an even color.

Common Uses: 
Flooring (from basketball courts and dance-floors to bowling alleys and residential), veneer, paper (pulpwood), musical instruments, cutting boards, butcher blocks, workbenches, baseball bats, and other turned objects and specialty wood items.
