Ambrosia Maple 8/4 - 5 Pack

Add movement and organic charm to your next project with Ambrosia Maple.
This eye-catching hardwood features distinctive streaks and patterns caused by the Ambrosia beetle, making each board a one-of-a-kind canvas of soft greys, warm tans, and earthy brown trails. Though not a separate species, Ambrosia Maple is a visually striking variation of maple that brings natural storytelling into your work.

Ideal for modern-rustic furniture, feature walls, cabinetry, and custom accents, this lumber delivers unexpected elegance through natural imperfection.

Visual & Workable Appeal

✅ Color & Grain – Creamy base with grayish-blue streaking, subtle curl, and occasional beetle holes that add visual texture
✅ Workability – Cuts cleanly, glues well, and takes finish beautifully—ideal for smooth, refined results
✅ Design Impact – Works across rustic, modern, and industrial styles for standout builds

Special Considerations

🔧 Character-Rich Surfaces: Beetle markings and fungal staining vary from board to board—no two are alike. Boards are kiln-dried to ensure all insect activity is neutralized.

🌲 Domestic and Sustainable: Responsibly harvested in North America, Ambrosia Maple offers a sustainable and affordable alternative to imported figured woods.

📚 Material Insight: Ambrosia Maple isn’t a species—it’s the result of a natural interaction between maple trees and Ambrosia beetles. The patterns they leave behind turn ordinary lumber into functional artwork.
