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.
