Description Maple Burr – Turning / Craft Blank Description:Maple Burr is a highly decorative hardwood, prized for its intricate swirling grain and distinctive “eye” formations created by natural growth irregularities. With its light cream to golden tones and complex figure, it offers exceptional visual interest and depth, making it a favourite for fine turning and decorative woodworking. Features: Species: Maple (Acer spp.) Appearance: Pale cream to warm golden hues with dense burr figure and characteristic “eye” patterns Texture: Fine and smooth, with a natural lustre when finished Workability: Generally works well, though irregular grain may require sharp tools; stabilisation can enhance results Applications:Ideal for pen blanks, bowls, luxury boxes, knife handles, veneers, and other decorative projects where striking figure is desired. Note:As a natural burr timber, each piece is unique. Variations in colour, figure, and natural inclusions are to be expected. Small voids, checks, or minor cracks may occasionally be present due to the nature of burr growth. Photographs are representative of typical appearance.
