This is a tier 2 wood. Each of our materials belongs to a "tier", which simply helps you determine how expensive the material is. Our least expensive materials are in Tier 1, while our most expensive and exotic materials are in Tier 6.

The sapwood of Maple (more commonly used than heartwood) ranges in color from nearly white to an off-white cream color, making it one of the lightest materials we carry. Because of its color, it only engraved to a medium-brown, but maintains excellent contrast. It is also extremely hard and sands to an extremely smooth finish.

Maple is typically harvested in Northeastern North America.

ORDER A SAMPLE:

Before you make a final decision on which type of wood you'd like for your project, you can purchase a sample! Samples are available in two sizes:

— A small 3 inch square cut and engraved on 1/8" thick material - These samples are unfinished, raw wood and represent the quality of wedding invitations and signage you might be ordering.
— A larger 5 inch square cut and engraved on 3/4" thick material - These samples are lacquer-finished and faithfully represent the quality of each material as it would apply to your larger project, such as our unique boxes or inlay signs.
