Brown Maple is a smooth-grained hardwood that works beautifully for both stained and painted finishes. It’s especially well-suited for mid to dark stains, where it absorbs color evenly and helps mask natural variations like mineral streaks. It provides an excellent surface for paint, making it a favorite for clean, contemporary designs. It also happens to be our #1 selection! We use Ohio Certified Stains (OCS) on our Brown Maple products to ensure dependable, consistent color from one project to the next. These stains are widely used and readily available, making specification and matching simple. Click on any sample to enlarge the image and explore the available OCS finish options.
