Soft maple project block 1-1/2" – product of Canada

Soft Maple is a versatile Canadian hardwood valued for its light colour, smooth grain, and forgiving workability. Slightly less dense than hard maple, it turns easily on the lathe and sands quickly, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced turners. Under a clear finish, soft maple develops a clean, bright appearance that works beautifully for both functional and decorative projects.
