Maple

Maple produces excellent material with good strength properties and an attractive appearance. Its most common applications are flooring, cabinet making, furniture and interior joinery. Maple wood is divided into two, namely hard maple and soft maple.

HARD MAPLE – Acer saccharum – Acer nigrum

Hard Maple found throughout Eastern U.S., mainly Mid-Atlantic and Lake states. It is a cold-weather tree favoring a more northerly climate. The sapwood is a creamy white with a slight reddish brown tinge, and the heartwood varies from light to dark reddish brown. The wood has a close, fine texture and is generally straight-grained. is world-renowned for its delicate colour, hardness, fine grain and finishing quality.

Physical & Mechanical Properties:
Hard Maple has hard and heavy wood properties with good strength properties. In particular, it has high resistance to abrasion and wear. It also has good steam-bending properties.

Workability:
Hard maple dries slowly with high shrinkage, so it can be susceptible to movement in performance. With care, fairly easy to work with both hand and machine tools, glues satisfactorily and can be stained to an outstanding finish, keep in mind Maple has a tendency to burn when being machined with high-speed cutters such as in a router. The wood polishes well and is suitable for enamel finishes and brown tones.

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

Usage:
Hard maple wood usually uses to 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.

SOFT MAPLE – Acer saccharinum – Acer rubrum

Soft Maple extensive distribution in various parts of the eastern US, but the Coast Pacific / Big Leaf (Acer Macrophyllum) grow exclusively in the Pacific Northwest region. Increase it more along with photography Demand in the export market. Soft Maple, a relative of birch, is almost white when freshly cut, but quickly changes with exposure to air, becoming light brown with a yellow or reddish tinge. Heartwood is formed only in trees of advanced age and there is no visible boundary between sap and heartwood. The wood is fairly straight-grained with a uniform texture.

Physical & Mechanical Properties:
Soft maple has relatively soft hardwood of medium density that has low bending strength, shock resistance, and stiffness. This wood has good curvature using steam.

Workability:
Fairly easy to work with both hand and machine tools, nails, screws and glues well, and can be sanded, painted, or stained to a good finish. When stained, it blends with walnut or cherry. It dries easily with little degrade and has good dimensional stability after drying.

Rot Resistance:
Rated as non-durable to perishable in regard to decay resistance. But heartwood quite resistant to preservation and the sapwood can be penetrated.

Usage:
Soft maple wood usually uses to Furniture, cabinetry, gunstocks, interior paneling, veneer, flooring, paper (pulpwood), turned items, and other small wooden objects and novelties.

BEECH – Fagus grandifolia

Beech (Fagus Sylvatica)

Beech is wood that is most widely used both in industry and artisanship. Beech is usually pale beige with a brown or pink hue. It has very light color, almost white. It assumes that the best rosy tone as the result of steaming and kilning processes. On the entire surfaces of cut will appear medullary rays. They will characterize the design, especially on the tangential ones, where they appear as sharp as spindles. It is a durable (anti-insect), versatile, sturdy, moderately hard and heavy wood.

For the distribution, this beech is distributed almost all over the world. two of them are in Continental Europe and Asia.

Continental Europe

Fagus Sylvatica is common European beech that grows up naturally in the land of Denmark, Sweden, and Southern Norway. The border the European deciduous forest zone and the northern pine forest zone is restricted by the beech forest. As growing up freely and naturally, the border is really significant for the life of flora and fauna. In addition, it is a sharp line along the Swedish western coast, which gets broader toward the south.

Asia

East Asia is the home of five Fagus species. There is only one species named F. Crenata sometimes is planted in Western countries. Japanese beech which is smaller than F. Sylcatica and F. Crenata is the most common used hardwoods in its native range.

Beech is a fine wood which is simple to work it. Overall is good workability. It glues, machines, turns, and finishes well. It has very subtle finish as well. Once steaming it, this beech can be rotary cut, that’s why it can be worked for plywood.

Beech wood blend in with virtually any shade of color. You can apply it for musical instruments, toys, kitchen utensils, furniture, wood floors, turning devices, veneers, and of course plywood.

WHITE OAK – Quercus Alba

Latin name: Quercus Alba.

Other names: Southern White Oak, Northern White Oak, White Oak, True White Oak, Swamp Chestnut Oak, Chestnut Oak (Q. prinus, Q. montana), Overcup Oak, Overcup Oak (Q. lyrata), Swamp Chestnut Oak (Q. michauxii).

American white oak is the most well-known variety of hardwood species from the Quercus family. American white Oak usually uses for flooring, woodcraft, and musical instrument.

Distribution

One of the most wide-spread plantation in United States is white oak. It completes variety of ecosystem services, such as food sources, wildlife habitat, climate change, and watershed health. American white oak is imported from eastern and central North America. It is distributed from Quebec and Ontario to eastern Minnesota and Lowa, then extending eastward to the Atlantic, and Southward through Allegheny and Appalachian Mountains. American White oak has the largest volume of any hardwood species in the United States, and it’s concentrated in the central hardwoods region.

Physical condition

American oak is very similar in appearance and with European oak, in contrast, American oak has more light-colored sapwood – dark to brown heartwood. Both sapwood and heartwood are extremely resistant to decay. In general strength is similar with European oak as well. The higher density of American oak provider higher strength compared to European oak. American oak can be worked fairly readily, having a smooth finish.

Uses

Its main uses are in flooring, furniture, woodcraft, musical instruments, doors, architectural joinery and mand kitchen cabinets. It has also been used in construction, agricultural implements, in the interior finishing of houses, and shipbuilding. American oak uses from storing and processing food items to transport over long distances. Because of its impermeability, it usually uses as food or wine barrels. American oak’s utility is ultimately driven by its durability and sturdiness. Because of its impermeability, it is suitable for.
