Laquered Maple White or sugar maple (Acer saccharum)
is also known as rock maple and hard maple. It
is normally off-white in color but often may
have a dark brown heart. Maple often has many
elegant figures in the grain, the most common
of which lead to varieties called curly, tiger
, quilted, or fiddleback maple. Of the more than
twenty species of maples in the US and Canada,
sugar maple is the most common.
