VOGUE – MAPLE NATURAL

The sapwood of sugar maple is a lovely creamy white, while the heartwood ranges from creamy white to light reddish brown. This wood has a closed, subdued grain and a uniform texture, with medium figuring often described as quilted, curly, “bird’s-eye,” and “fiddleback.” Due to its light color and durability, maple is a popular choice when a “contemporary” look is desired for a wood floor.
