Maple Caskets from Aurora Casket
|
Tough, heavy, and hard, maple is a straight-grained wood that ranges from creamy white to pink-tinged to a light reddish-brown. Maple is particularly resistant to abrasion and wear, and is used to manufacture caskets as well as flooring, furniture, interiors, cabinetry, and for decorative veneers. |

Maple can be tricky to work with in manufacturing, as it tends to dry slowly and have a high shrinkage factor, which can make it susceptible to variances in performance if not carefully attended. However, with care it machines well, turns well, and can be stained to a truly beautiful finish.
