Description
Birdseye Maple shorts are approximately 13/16″-thick x 5-1/2″ to 7-1/2″ wide x 24″ long. They are available in one, two, and three board foot quantities.
Birdseye maple has tiny knots in the grain that resemble small bird’s eyes. Unfavorable growing conditions for the tree reportedly cause the figure. The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions, the new shoots are aborted, and many tiny knots remain afterward. It’s quite often used for small projects such as boxes and turning. It’s a beautiful wood that compliments and works well with other woods for larger projects.
For longer pieces, such as 3′ or more, please email or phone the Woodsmith Store for a custom quote.
