- Grain: Generally straight or slightly interlocked.
- Texture: Moderately coarse. Luster: Varies from lustrous to very lustrous.
- Odor: Natural oils in the wood give off a distinctive fragrance.
- Movement: Dimensionally stable. Holds its shape very well after seasoning.
- Natural Durability: Heartwood has high natural resistance to decay. The sapwood is vulnerable to attack by powder-post beetles. Moderate to high resistance to termites.
- Working characteristics: Easily worked with both hand tools and machines.
- Strength Properties: Medium bending strength, much weaker than White oak or Teak.
- Resistance to compression parallel to grain is low. Surfaces may dent or scratch easily since the wood is soft. Weight and density are about average. Relative to weight, strength properties are generally high.

This curly soft maple is highly figured with tiger-striped rays running perpendicular to the grain pattern. Along with the wood's light color, this striping lends a shimmering quality to the lumber. Even unfinished, the wood has a very pleasing interaction with light. It is no surprise, then, that curly maple has become a woodworker's favorite for accents, specialty furniture, musical instruments, and more.To make the figure in this curly maple really "pop", we recommend using an oil product (tung, linseed, etc.), as opposed to a stain. If a lacquer or urethane finish is necessary, adding a coat or two of clear wax-free shellac before the final finishing will ensure that the figure stands out. -
