The quilted maple is not a separate species, but a derivative of the sugar maple (Acer saccharum). The gorgeous 3-D, quilted effect occurs only sporadically at the base of the sugar maple trunk. In connection with the brown lines of the early and late growth, this results in a very spectacular effect. This natural phenomenon is very rare and therefore very desirable and relatively expensive. The sugar maple grows in North America and can reach heights of 135 feet. The tree is the main source of maple syrup, of course.
The wood is dense and hard and is also called hard maple, rock maple, or sugar maple.
Dimensions: approx. 330 x 155 x 30 mm

Finely grained wood may contain imperfections such as open knots, bark inclusions, or cracks that are typical of the species. These flaws come from the way the tree has grown and are completely natural. They can usually be filled with low-viscosity cyanoacrylate (super glue) and wood dust.
