HARD MAPLE (HARD MAPLE) K.D.

PERFORMANCE:

Maple Duro Americano's sawn wood is excellently machined, drilled, twisted and finished. It is screwed, brushed, drilled and sized well but its fitness for screwing and nailing is medium. It produces good moldings. The American Hard Maple can be easily sanded, dyed and polished to a very fine and smooth finish.
The heartwood is slightly durable or non-durable. The heartwood is not very impregnable with protection treatment, although the sapwood is impregnable.

It is suitable for all types of floors, including those in high traffic areas such as public buildings, as well as for furniture, manufacture of cabinets and first class cabinetmaking. It is widely used for table boards and work surfaces, moldings and kitchen cabinets.
