Soft maple turns and shapes much easier than hard maple, and therefore makes a fine wood for honing your skills. Soft maple can also be one of your best choices for dying the wood with rich colors, or even black, for dramatic effects. Get creative and let your imagination go wild when you decide to turn soft maple.
