Please note: The timber is sawn and then sanded on one face only and is not machine planed. If you require fully planed, square edged timber please see our range of Planed All Round Canadian Maple. It is normal for thin wood to display a slight curvature across the width due to the natural movement of the timber.
Our Thin Sanded Maple is sustainably sourced from Canada and manufactured to order at our factory here in Yorkshire. The timber is uniformly pale and has a typically straight grain which can sometimes be wavy or curly. The boards are sawn and then sanded on one face and supplied in random lengths.
Our Thin Sanded Maple is suitable for woodworking, furniture making, model making and crafts such as laser cutting, intarsia and luthiery.

Storage information
Our timber is kiln-dried and should not be stored in a cold, damp environment (e.g. garage, shed or outbuilding) where it could take on moisture. On arrival at your property, the packs should be taken straight indoors into a dry, heated building. All concrete, plaster and wet work should be fully dried out prior to storage and/or installation.
Properties
It has medium stiffness, is rated high in all other strength categories. The hard maples are about 35% harder than the soft maples, and are resistant to abrasion. It is rated as satisfactory for glueing and polishing, and requires pre-boring for nailing and screwing.
Typical Uses
Furniture, musical instruments and interior joinery. Because of its resistance to abrasion, hard maple is suitable for heavy-duty flooring and is used for roller-skating rinks, dance floors, squash courts and bowling alleys. It is also used for butcher's block, rollers in the textile industry, sporting goods, casks and woodenware.
