Love it
« on: October 03, 2011, 01:44:31 am »
I have finally found a white wood that I love and its American Rock Maple. I stopped using white or whiteish wood a long time ago because after oiling etc. it never looked the way I wanted it too but the Maple is great.  Thanks America.  :-*

Hi Marg....  Finally someone that just can not get a white wood like the Baltic Birch to look good.  I have given up on that species for say Christmas Ornaments.  I just finished cuting stack of 4 using Maple 1/8 Ply.  They look Great.  Used a combo of BLO and spirits half n half (Dans mixture) and the grain looks great and there is even a slight shine.  Later....  Danny  :+}

Gene I'm in Australia and I got it from TheWoodsmith.com.au  So this probably does not help you.  LOl

Hey Marg,
I get my timber from J&C Thin Timbers in Qld, they cater for the thicknesses a scroller needs. They have Rock Maple too, so I might order a piece and give it a try.

we have a woodsmith here in Iowa.  I wonder if they are the same.  I am going to Des Moines next week and I will find out.  Thanks Marg.

Yeah they do .. the more you order, the postage seems to work out cheaper.

I'll send you the details via email
