Hard Maple Hardwood Lumber Boards - Surfaced S4S (surfaced four sides) and kiln-dried. This board is more finished than our S2S1E boards and cut from our S2S material. Although surfaced, additional dressing and sanding of the boards may be needed to complete your project.
Hard Maple, also known as Sugar Maple, grown in Canada and USA, is a pale reddish brown to a light tan. Typically Hard Maple has a straight grain. Because of its hardness, Hard Maple is used for cutting blocks and flooring in bowling alleys and roller skating rinks.
These boards are graded F.A.S. (First and Seconds) where the front face is fairly clear. The back side can have a few knots, wane and other minor defects, especially on boards wider than 5 inches. There can be an occasional end check (small crack at end of board).
If you would like a less finished board, please see our S2S1E Hardwoods.
