Hard Maple - S3S

Known for its exceptional hardness and bright color, our white Hard Maple is now available in S3S.

Developed with the intermediate woodworker in mind, S3S has been surface planed on both faces with a straight-line rip on at least one edge (and one rough edge), giving maximum width and thickness to work with and an easier way to get parallel edges than rough lumber. We recommend S3S products for anyone who has access to basic woodworking equipment and who wants the satisfaction of doing their own milling (we recommend having at least a table saw and thickness planer).

Available in 2 grades, Clear 2 Face (C2F) and Clear 1 Face (C1F), you can expect the same level of quality that we're known for, at a more economical price. For both grades, you will see consistent color and texture between your boards.

What you get:

3 boards of lumber that have been surface hit-or-miss and straight-line ripped one edge. Individual board widths can range from 4" to 7.5", for a guaranteed total of at least 18" in width. Thickness will be around 1/16" off of nominal (e.g. 4/4 = 15/16"), though some variation may be expected.

Always flat rate shipping! Shipping for S3S will be a flat rate of $14.95 per order, no matter how many bundles you order.

Clarity (Grade):

C2F is for applications that require 2 clear, exposed faces with no defects. Here's what you can expect from C2F:

  • 2 clear faces
  • Some minor natural character (such as burls) may show, but will be free of knots, bird pecks, wormholes, mineral, and drying defects.
  • At least 90% white color on one face and at least 70% white color on reverse face.
  • Consistent grain texture and color

C1F is for 1 exposed face applications, or if you don't mind doing a little work filling a small defect on the reverse face. Here's what you can expect from C1F:

  • Clear at least 1 face.
  • Small knots and some minor blemishes and natural character may show up on reverse face.
  • At least 90% white color on one face and at least 50% white color on reverse face.
  • Consistent color, reverse face may have some different grain texture.

To learn more about our proprietary grades, check out our custom grading rules that are always a notch (or two) above the competition.

 

About Hard Maple

Our hard maple lumber (acer saccharum or "sugar maple") is sourced from the best growing regions around the Great Lakes. In these regions hard maple trees are mostly second-growth, growing with such a high sap-to-heart ratio that they are often called “pencil heart” maple.  This leads to consistently bright and attractive lumber, utilizing the brighter sap wood as compared to the darker colored heart wood.  Our hard maple lumber is predominantly very white, with very little to no brown heart.

Hard maple is known for its hardness, density and its resistance to wear and abrasion. It also offers a very bright color which makes it desirable for applications that require high contrast such as bowling alleys and dance hall or gymnasium flooring. Its hardness and appearance also make it an ideal material for projects ranging from musical instruments to toys and crafts.  It also works in kitchen applications such as butcher blocks, cutting boards, and utensils.
