Collection: Maple, Eastern Red

Aptly named Red Maple, this tree produces Scarlet fall leaves that add color from Eastern Minnesota all the way to the East Coast. This is one of the most prolific Maples in the U.S. and eastern Canada. Lumber is commonly substituted for hard maple as the grain is closed and working properties are similar.

The figured wood is available in long boards with even figure and white grain which is not common in Western Curly Maple.
