Hey, This video is a “must see” for me. All the confusion I’ve had on this subject is resolved now. Presenter has a natural talent to wipe away the minutiae (unnecessary BS) and go clearly for the bones of the subject. Would you consider running for The White House in 2020?
If you're ever in need of content ideas just keep rolling this type of video out through all of the different species out there. This is excellent knowledge. Also, props to your production team. Your vids have excellent production value.
How funny that this video popped up tonight courtesy of TH-cam...I JUST finished placing the first coat of urethane on our Ambrosia Maple floor! Bought a pick up load from a sawmill, took it to a millwork shop and had it milled, laid over 400 sq ft of it. Should come out to about $5 a square foot since I did all the labor. Not cheap but you can't buy a floor like this from a home center. It looks amazing. For an alleged soft wood it's hard as rock!
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I just started woodworking about six months ago, and burned through all the "how-to" videos on TH-cam. Your videos fill a completely different need, and they are informative and entertaining. Great work, and I've learned a ton.
the heart wood and the ambrosia maple are real nice looking with the contrasts. it’s great to listen to someone that has all this knowledge about lumber. i’ve watched and listened and trying to retain it all but you have it stored in your brain like a computer. great video! cheers!
Best review of maple I have ever heard. Own a bowling alley and have replaced the hard maple with synthetics. It’s less maintenance and more durable. However, I kept all the maple wood. Put a dance floor in my banquet room with some of it. Now everybody wants a chunk of the old maple. Such beautiful wood.
Well done! Been at it 42 years and agree with every word of this video. Although it is seldom available through commercial channels, I understand boxelder is a true maple and has its own characteristics.
Thanks for taking your time to make this video. Definitely helps to know what you're looking at when there are so many woods to choose from. Keep up the good work and I'll be staying tuned.
Well done! My pop ran a lumber company in the 1960s and was also a fine furniture maker. He hoarded hundreds of board ft. of birdseye maple. I am currently working on a mammoth 3 in thick live edge tiger maple piece. Lucky I could find a company with a helical plane that could plane this wide of a piece. You did a nice job explaining in the video.
Well I you just had to go and get me so interested in this video I just had to subscribe! I have been to your website and it is way beyond my price! But the info you give always coreects my understanding of the various types of wood. So keep the good info coming even if I can't afford anything but yellow pine and an occasional board of red oak!
I really appreciate the quality answer to beginner questions but also packing in some extra info that most people probably don't know. Thanks for the great content!
When I got into woodworking maybe 10 years ago, I thought I needed to downplay how excited I was about it. Woodworkers are gruff badasses right? An ex-musician doesn't fit in with these guys, right? That couldn't be further from the truth. Every woodworker I've met is just as into it as this guy is. Thanks for the great video. I'm going back to work on finishing my daughter's flame maple jewelry box.
Thanks for all of your videos, Mark!. They eliminate many of the questions I'd have to ask when I'm in your store! Much easier on the consumer too. Great job!
You have the gift of k.i.s.s.. Thanks for keeping it simple, and I've been a woodworker for years, yet learn something new from every video you post. Subscribed
Another excellent quality video. Thank you!!! I always appreciate your brevity. You don't mess around. You say what needs to be said all with high-level editing.
Very good information. As a Luthier, and I can only speak to electric guitars, solid body, or semi-hollow body, construction. Maple often used for the neck, and always for the fretboard, hard Maple, Rock Maple is used. Birdseye, because of its tendency to twist as it dries, or over time with changes in humidity, increasing and decreasing,, is not a good choice for the neck, but is quite suitable for the relatively thin fretboard. The decorative tops on guitar bodies can be any figured maple. I get Sugar, "Rock," Maple from only a few suppliers here in Wisconsin, or the UP of Michigan, and I have some incredible figuring on these boards. I did test the hardness to verify it was hard Maple, and no question, it is very hard.
VERY INTERESTING MAN! As a guitarist i knew about flamed, quilted for lp tops and rock for necks! But i appreciate you sharing your knowledge! Ambrosia looks different but lush all the same!
Thank you so much for these! Your videos about the various species of wood have been an excellent, excellent resource for me. I'm still a bit new to woodworking, and I'm the type that wants to know what he's getting into before busting open the piggy bank for more interesting wood to play with. Love the format, too -- a lot of meat, very little fat, while still maintaining a high production value. Perfect.
Awesomeness!! And answered some questions that I had. I bought some hard maple from my local lumber yard but notice that it had some curly waves in it. guess I was just lucky to come across some of that never seen it in person before
I usually have a comment about something missed, but wow, you did a good job here. I've been working with figured maple for 40 or more years. I tend to use a thickness sander, (wide belt) for prep on all figured stock. Great video here. You didn't miss a thing, and provide a lot of clear and correct information. I agree that rarely does one find decent birdseye maple at the hardwood stores. And even rarer will some carry quilted for instance. There ARE some specialty mail order places now that carry really good quality figured maple, but one has to be prepared for the price.
Wow! and Wow! again. As a newbie I haven’t seen a video that comes close to this one for information and understanding, it’s clear, concise and easy for a dummy like myself understood it. Thank you very much indeed.
Good stuff. In our area soft maple is called silver maple. I just took one down in my yard that was filled with ambrosia streaks. It’s all milled and drying now. Another tree that is affected by a beetle is the Box elder. That’s what gives it those awesome red streaks. Make sense since it in the maple family
The darker streaks in blue cheese is fungus. It's also how we discovered how to make other cheeses. It was the first cheese we made. Before understanding the science behind making cheese they fermented blue cheese and used the fungus to measure it. I don't think it's gross.
Similarly to the ambrosia maple, locally we produce a lot of maple syrup. So those trees which have been tapped can also be used and have a really interesting colours where the fungus has grown in. A niche market, but neat to see two uses of the same tree.
thanks. super helpful. just finished a round coffee table top made of that "country maple." my local lumber dealer has it labeled as "brown maple" -- i'm assuming it's the same thing. anyway, it's lovely. thanks for the great info!
Nice fast paced and informative video. You got'a get rid of the Ikea cup though. Try a NotNeutal cup with a red ring at the bottom of the cup. Their hard to find but worth it. Thanks for the video. Sweet.
Really enjoying your videos! Thank you. Would enjoy learnign about the different types of Walnut species, particularly the difference between black Walnut and, well, 'regular' Walnut. I make wooden spoons out of Maple and Walnut, folks cant get enough of the walnut, particularly the black walnut. Thanks for taking the time to do these! Love em!
Thanks! this is a really informative and concise video with lots of useful info. I'm about to start various projects using maple you've answered questioned that I haven't yet thought of asking!
some of the best flame-quilt maple can be found growing on a slightly steep hillside in the pnw Oregon and Washington.also big walnut trees can be found growing in similar conditions. heck even old huge stumps can be found sometimes witch is like finding gold if you know what you are doing.
Interesting tidbit for you direct from my main supplier of curly/quilted/figured maple on Vancouver Island says he always finds figured wood seems to come from trees with one main tap root running down a slope side into water. He's licensed and has hunted specialty woods for over thirty years. We talked about the quilting phenomenon and decided that it has to happen on trees where part of the tree structure has grown over less stable ground which, as the tree sizes up, it's weight has to be held more by one or two sides than the other (usually there are three main stabilizing roots)
Another "thumbs up", Mark. I've used the color, seal, sand and re color with another color to get some interesting results........something I learned from Charles Neil; God rest his soul.
Agreed, & although your “Maple Species 101” was set on a fast track, still not at all difficult to follow, ... great tips for hard vs soft varieties, with a tutelage level, that could be understood by a 2nd grader, ... keep em coming!
Thank you for the tutorial!!! What I don't know would fill a library!!!!! Been making stocks from blanks for 50 years, and there is always something to be learned. I am more learned, and astuter! LOL!!!
another less common maple is the box elder - which is frequently home to the box elder beetle - but is also known for red streaks in the heartwood. Perfect for small pieces.
Box elder makes great fiberboard. Both the seeds and the wood can be toxic, so dust collection and face masks are probably a good idea when working with this wood.
Thanks for spreading the knowledge! I'm another guy just like the one at the beginning of this vid...so much to learn, and so great to have you as a go to source...I've used some "spalted Maple" on a few projects and really like the figure/character it offers...hope you can find the time to offer some tips on this particular wood as well...Thanks again from the legion of newbies!
This is pretty awesome. I knew some of this things but not all. It is very cool and you make it interesting. Could you make another for types of Oaks or other lumbers that have several variations like this? Thank you!
thanks for mentioning guitars as thats where my interest lies - maple isnt a super popular wood for solid bodies but it is extremely common in neck construction.. black walnut is also a common neck wood - mahogany is still the ideal wood for bodies, but weight is a factor (my les paul, w/ mahogany body, quilted maple cap, and bonded maple neck is an absolute dumptruck - it should've come with sturdy handles - but it sure does sound nice) anyway, the term "spalted maple" is commonly used in guitar circles, and im going to assume from the info you provided that its just another word for (or maybe a specific type of) "country maple" thanks!
Spalted maple is actually different. Spalting is actually a series of black streaky veins that come from a particular mold type condition setting in if the tree was starting to rot, or was improperly stored while drying (like sitting out in silt and water). It creates some really cool patterns, but is less about the actual wood itself, and more about the drying process.
How about spalted maple? Made a counter out of a slab and it was hard to work. Alternate hard and soft spots but beautiful grain. Curly maple was also the wood of choice for Pennsylvania or Kentucky muzzle loaders.
This was fascinating. You should do a video for every species in North America. Also I wish you had delved more into the uses for each variety's unique characteristics.
My uncle was a lathesman in England starting out at 17 making parts for Spitfires in the war. When he died in 2014 I went over to England to close the estate and dispose of "stuff." I found it to be literally impossible to dispose of many items and they went to the dump. Amongst the dumped items were many, many cubes of exotic woods such as maple, mahogany, oak, teak, etc. as well as exotic veneers. Such a darned shame that nobody would take them.
Dennis that is so sad. Not only a sad personal occasion, but added to by seeing things of value go to waste. There are people, but it’s hard to find them when you are in a hurry. Special interest social media groups would be a good place to start for anyone else reading this and thinking we are all wood-ignorami in England!
I gotta say i watched several of your videos and really enjoy your style and how you go about things. very informative and easy to take in. s u b box hit! Nice job over here.

Wow, another great, informative video on Maple Wood. And FYI, I live just outside of...Maplewood...
I got 10 acres of red and silver maple and wasn't sure if it would be worth milling. This at least gets me started. Nice video.

I have to say, that was an amazing description of workable maples. Thank you very much.

These videos are fantastic. Thanks.

Been making stocks from blanks for 50 years, and there is always something to be learned. I am more learned, and astuter! LOL!!!
Great video topic! Please make a series out of it and introduce oak, pine and lots of others.
another less common maple is the box elder - which is frequently home to the box elder beetle - but is also known for red streaks in the heartwood. Perfect for small pieces.
there is a lot of this stuff in Russia, btw - an invasive species here, but it really likes to form big burls, grows insanely fast, so it's a plus..
Box elder makes great fiberboard. Both the seeds and the wood can be toxic, so dust collection and face masks are probably a good idea when working with this wood.

This is a great and very informative video, thank you so much for the showing this and showing great examples.
short and too the point...well done
Excellent introduction to maples - well presented - I wish he spent a little time on how he made the boxes
thanks for mentioning guitars as thats where my interest lies - maple isnt a super popular wood for solid bodies but it is extremely common in neck construction.. black walnut is also a common neck wood - mahogany is still the ideal wood for bodies, but weight is a factor (my les paul, w/ mahogany body, quilted maple cap, and bonded maple neck is an absolute dumptruck - it should've come with sturdy handles - but it sure does sound nice)

It creates some really cool patterns, but is less about the actual wood itself, and more about the drying process.
Mahogany is the main wood of electrics but rosewood is the preffered wood for most high quality acoustic bodies.
Thanks for this very helpful info. And would like to ask what's the best way to organize a small shop? And what's the must have tools?
Great video, so much info and great presentation. I like how you outlined the workability qualities of all the types.
I think the brown maple heartwood is beautiful, underused and unfortunately lacking availability too often.
Well Done! Just the right info for me. Much appreciated!
really impressed with your videos. you know your stuff. thanks for the education
How about spalted maple? Made a counter out of a slab and it was hard to work. Alternate hard and soft spots but beautiful grain.
Curly maple was also the wood of choice for Pennsylvania or Kentucky muzzle loaders.
Very informative. Excellent photos / videos to illustrate your points. Thanks! 👍
Love this video! Have you done any other woods? I never new maple was sap wood. That’s pretty crazy
Great info. Huge fan or curly for knife handles.
This was fascinating. You should do a video for every species in North America. Also I wish you had delved more into the uses for each variety's unique characteristics.
Great video! Have you got a video on those beautiful little boxes?
