Every ring and open pore at 1:1 fidelity.
02Character & specification
Hard maple offers the palest, most uniform ground of any species we slice. Its subtle, close grain and cool blonde tone make it the quiet backdrop for bright, contemporary interiors.
“A veneer should never hide the tree it came from — it should let you read its whole life in a single leaf.”
