Brown Maple: Versatile and Elegant for Custom Finishes
Brown Maple is our top wood choice, known for its smooth, uniform grain and versatility. Its fine texture accepts mid to dark stains and paint exceptionally well, delivering rich, consistent finishes. Lighter stains highlight natural grain variation, while darker tones or solid paints help mask mineral streaks for a more uniform look. This adaptability suits a range of styles, from traditional to contemporary. Featured stains are from FinishWorks, trusted for their color consistency, depth, and durability - ensuring reliable results, job after job.

Recommendation for Designers & Contractors:
Choose Brown Maple when you need a versatile, cost-effective hardwood that adapts beautifully to both stained and painted finishes. Its smooth grain makes it ideal for clients who want a clean, modern look without the premium price of Hard Maple.
Best suited for painted cabinetry, mid to dark stain tones, or projects requiring custom color matching. Brown Maple accepts a wide range of finishes and offers good consistency—though lighter stains may highlight natural variations or mineral streaks.
An excellent choice for transitional and contemporary styles where a smooth surface and adaptable finish are more important than prominent grain or natural character.
REMEMBER - Computer screens and printers will vary color. Stain colors will be influenced by the grain and wood species. Therefore these samples may not be an exact wood grain or stain representation.
