| Red
Maple is a softer wood than
Hard Maple
but has similar characteristics and working properties. Our
manufactured Red Maple products have attractive bright colors
and are dried nice and flat.
Red Maple, also known as Soft Maple,
is, as its name suggests, about 25% less hard than
Hard Maple.
It has medium bending and crushing strength, and low shock
resistance. Red Maple machines well and can be stained and
polished to an outstanding finish. It glues, nails and screws
satisfactorily. During drying it exhibits little degrade. Red
Maple is often used as a substitute for
Hard Maple
or stained to resemble
Cherry.
