Product Description
S2S1E Kiln-dried (surfaced 2 sides and 1 edge) Soft Maple Hardwood Lumber Boards for Woodworkers. These boards are partially dressed. Boards are “skip” surfaced on both faces with 1 edge clean-ripped. Skip surfaced cleans up most of the roughness to the board, but there could be an occasional rough patch on the faces of boards. Additional dressing and planning of the boards may be needed to complete your project. Since one edge is left rough, please allow a 1” variance in the width of the board.
Grade allows for an occasional pin knot, small defect or wane on back side of board. Boards can also have a small end check (crack at end of board). This species has a slightly higher tendency to warp compared to other options, but with proper care, it can still deliver impressive results. We recommend purchasing board a little longer than project needs to accommodate clean up cut at job site.
Soft Maple, also known as Red Maple, is 25% softer than Hard Maple. It is grown in Canada and the USA. The color can be a light to dark reddish brown sometimes with a faint purplish hue or gray-green hue. Soft Maple is used for furniture, flooring and musical instruments. Soft Maple can be difficult to glue.
