 What's the wood like?
This flowing three-dimensional figure is most common in big leaf maple, native to the Pacific Northwest. The wood is generally more soft than other maples and a little more porous. Quilted figure, though often used in high end pieces, does present some difficulties in working. Tends to chip when planed, and burns easily when used with power sanders, routers, and table saws.  How's the color?
Creamy white with a reddish brown tinge.  Does it go by other names?
Bigleaf maple, Broadleaf maple, Maple, Oregon maple, Pacific Coast maple, Western Maple  What could I use it for?
Furniture, accessories, and musical instruments  What is the tree like?
A popular, fast growing decorative tree. Matures to about 60-90 feet in height and 30'' in diameter.
