Species Guide Basswood Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview Basswood is a light weight species renowned for its creamy color and ability to be machined and shaped accurately into thin sections, and as a premium wood for carving. The sap of basswood tends to be large and is creamy white in color giving way to the heartwood that is pale to reddish brown. It may display dark streaks which are not a defect. The difference between sap and heartwood is small and may be indistinct. The wood of basswood has a fine uniform texture and straight grain, which is not distinct. Scientific Name Tilia americana Avg. Board Length 8’ – 16’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4, 9/4 Also Known As Basswood, Linden Avg. Board Width 6” – 10” Avg. Dried Weight 2.2 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution Basswood is botanically related to the lime tree found in Europe. The trees are generally large in height and diameter, often with straight trunks and relatively free of limbs. Basswood can be found growing throughout the United States in natural hardwood forests. Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) data shows U.S. basswood growing stock is 210 million m3, 1.4% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American basswood is growing 3.3 million m3 per year while the harvest is 1.7 million m3 per year. The net volume (after harvest) is increasing by 1.6 million m3 each year. U.S. basswood growth exceeds or is in balance with harvest in all the main producing states. Basswood is available in relatively limited volumes compared to some other species, both as sawn lumber and veneer. Lumber is available in a range of grades and thickness from 4/4” (25.4mm) right through to 16/4” (102mm) due to its ease of drying. Basswood lumber is also available in 9/4” (56mm) a specially produced thickness for production of window shutters and venetian blinds. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications This unique hardwood, growing in natural forests in the USA, is considered the best species for venetian blinds and internal shutters. It is widely used for carving, turning, mouldings and furniture. Specialist uses include pattern making and musical instruments, especially for piano parts. Carving Furniture Mouldings Musical Instruments Turning

Species Guide Soft Maple Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview Soft maple is one of the most prolific and sustainable species, similar to hard maple but slightly softer in impact hardness. Soft maple color varies from one region to another. The sapwood of soft maple is normally grayish white but can be darker, with pith flecks as a natural characteristic. The heartwood of soft maple varies in color from light to dark reddish brown. The difference between sap and heartwood is greater than in hard maple. Scientific Name Acer rubrum Avg. Board Length 6’ - 16’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4, 10/4 Also Known As Soft Maple, Red Maple Avg. Board Width 5” – 8” Avg. Dried Weight 3.2 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution Soft maples grow widely across the eastern United States in mixed hardwood forests with more red maple in the northeast and silver maple concentrated in the mid and southern states. The name can be misleading as soft maple is not technically very soft. There are a significant number of sub-species – all sold as soft maple. Several, including Pacific coast/big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), grow in the northwest USA, for which there are specific grading rules that apply. FIA data shows U.S. soft maple growing stock is 1.62 billion m3, 11.1% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American soft maple is growing 36.4 million m3 per year while the harvest is 16.0 million m3 per year. The net volume (after harvest) is increasing 20.4 million m3 each year. U.S. soft maple growth exceeds harvest in all the main producing states. Soft maple is widely available as sawn lumber in a range of sizes and grades, but rarely as veneer. The lumber is normally sold unselected for color. West coast production is usually sold surfaced and graded from the better side, in a departure from standard NHLA Grading Rules. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications This highly sustainable, managed hardwood from natural forests of North America, with excellent environmental credentials, is considered where hardness and hardwearing properties may not be essential. It is used in furniture, cabinet making and joinery as well as doors, kitchen cabinets and for turning and mouldings. Turning

Species Guide Hard Maple Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview Hard maple is world-renowned for its delicate color, hardness, fine grain and finishing quality. The sapwood of hard maple is normally creamy white but can show a slight reddish/brown tinge. White sapwood can be selected, but veneer is always white sapwood. The heartwood of hard maple varies in color from light to dark reddish brown and may also vary according to region. The difference between heart and sap color may only be slight. Both may contain pith fleck as a natural characteristic. Scientific Name Acer saccharum Avg. Board Length 6’ – 16’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4 Also Known As Hard Maple, Sugar Maple, Rock Maple, Black Maple Avg. Board Width 5” – 8” Avg. Dried Weight 3.7 lbs/bdft Where It Comes From Growth Distribution Hard maple is a cold climate species, although trees can grow throughout the USA in mixed hardwood forests, but favor the more northern states. The species is quite different from other maples throughout the world. The trees often grow in dense stands on many types of soil and are also farmed for their famous maple syrup. Harvesting the trees is seasonal (autumn and winter). FIA data shows U.S. hard maple growing stock is 953.7 million m3, 6.6% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American hard maple is growing 19.1 million m3 per year while the harvest is 10.2 million m3 per year. Net volume (after harvest) is increasing 8.8 million m3 each year. U.S. hard maple growth exceeds harvest in all major supplying states except Maine. In Maine maple harvests have been high relative to growth, mainly due to increased extraction for pulpwood and bioenergy supplies, and because maple-dominated hardwood forests are slowly being replaced by softwood forest types. Hard maple is readily available as sawn lumber in a range of grades and sizes and as veneer. Lumber is regularly produced in 4/4" through to 8/4" but limited as thicker stock. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications This sustainably managed wood from natural forests of North America, with excellent environmental credentials, is revered worldwide for its hardwearing property, delicate light color and fine finish. It is highly suitable for all types of flooring, including high traffic areas such as public buildings, furniture, cabinet making and high-class joinery. It is widely used for table and work tops, mouldings, and kitchen cabinets. Mouldings

Species Guide Hickory Jump to Species The Basics Species Overview Hickory and pecan are different species of a very diverse group, but in the round (log) they are virtually indistinguishable from each other and therefore often processed by saw mills and sold mixed together. The wood of hickory varies greatly in color, grain pattern and appearance from this very diverse group. It is fine textured and the grain is usually straight but can be wavy or irregular. The sapwood is white and maybe tinged with brown, while the heartwood is pale to yellow brown to dark in color. Deep purple mineral streaks are a natural characteristic. Bird pecks are also a common characteristic and neither is considered a defect. Scientific Name Carya spp Avg. Board Length 6’ – 16’ Common Thicknesses 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4 Also Known As Hickory, Pecan Avg. Board Width 6” – 8” Avg.

They are split into two groups; the more important true hickories and hickories producing pecan nuts, the latter being an important fruit-bearing tree. Trees vary in size enormously. FIA data shows U.S. hickory growing stock is 742.3 million m3, 4.7% of total U.S. hardwood growing stock. American hickory is growing 14.6 million m3 per year while the harvest is 5.9 million m3 per year. The net volume (after harvest) is increasing 8.6 million m3 each year. U.S. hickory growth exceeds harvest in all significant producing states with the exception of Louisiana. Hickory sawn lumber is readily available in export grades, but sold unselected for color and mixed. The NHLA FAS grade permits a minimum width of 4 inches (101.6mm). The lower NHLA grades (1 & 2 Common) can produce an attractive and fashionable rustic look. Lumber is mainly produced in thinner stock (4/4” & 5/4) although a limited amount of thicker material may be available. 0-4K 4-8K 8-12K 12-16K 16-20K 20-24K Volume of live trees on forest land, 1000 m³ Uses Common Applications Furniture, cabinetry, ladders, striking tool handles dowels and sporting goods.
