Bigleaf Maple

Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) is an important tree in the Pacific Northwest, serving the essential functions of stabilizing the soils in wet and mountainous regions while cooling the waterways they commonly grow along. The figured wood produced by these giants is sought after throughout the world by luthiers and fine furniture builders alike. The depth of curl, and in particular quilt, that can be found in some of these specimens confounds the eye and sparks the imagination. Our figured stock includes curl, quilt, and pin-burl in varying dimensions.
