General
Characteristics: Wormy Curly Maple is the combination
of the figuring in Curly Maple along with the worm holes
and streaks that are created by the Ambrosia Beetle. We
separate these boards aside from our normal Curly and Wormy
Maple stock. As is evident in the photograph, the
curly figuring produces a wavy pattern to the spalting
streaks that are left behind from the presence of the Ambrosia
Beetle. As with all figured stock, it is a rare find. We
separate it from the regular curly so that our customers
looking for curly receive white streak free material. Those
looking for material that has more of a unique and exotic
feel can choose this material. We have had some customers
produce some real interesting pieces that bring out the
natural character of the material that really showcase
its unique beauty.
