Woodworking 101: Maple isn’t just maple

Woodworking 101: Maple Isn’t Just Maple – Finding the "Extraordinary" in the Ordinary When you hear "Maple," you probably think of smooth, creamy hardwood—the kind used for bowling pins, basketball courts, and classic furniture. But at Golden Grain Studio, we love the Maple that breaks the rules. In this episode of Woodworking 101, Will Koscinski takes you through the stunning variations that can turn a "standard" custom project into a one-of-a-kind conversation piece. From shimmering waves to natural fungal artwork, we explore how nature adds its own creative touch to the wood. In this video, we cover: Hard vs. Soft Maple: Beyond the name, learn about the beautiful brown, gray, and red hues found in Soft Maple. Curly Maple: How a wavy "cross grain" creates a shimmering 3D effect known as chatoyancy. Spalting (Nature’s Ink): Understanding the "Black Line" fungus that creates dramatic, stable patterns perfect for modern decor. The Ambrosia Beetle: A look at the unique streaks caused by the Ambrosia beetle—and the rare "Curly Ambrosia" hybrid. Workshop Spotlight: See a finished serving tray where we paired Curly Ambrosia Maple with Walnut for a truly special contrast.
