The Beauty of Solid Maple Furniture

Do you want to create a signature look for your bedroom or even your living room? Do you love the idea of having a home that looks both unique and carries with it a real sense of history and tradition? If you are someone who craves a unique look that still has a lovely time-honored air to it, you may find that it is time for you to take a look at solid maple furniture.

Maple furniture has long been a traditional standard for furniture that will last, but you will find that when you look at solid maple furniture, you are really buying an antique for future generations! What is it about solid maple furniture that makes it so gorgeous?

When you are looking at maple you will find that it is quite beautiful. For instance, when you are looking at soft maple, you will discover that it does not take a stain evenly; in fact, you can count on it never doing so! What you are left with, however is a beautiful quality to the treated wood that is one hundred percent unique. You can bet that no one is going to have a piece of furniture just like yours, no matter how simple it is. That is definitely one of the appeals of solid maple furniture, in that it you can get an impressive amount of variety with your wood. You will also discover that it can make a lovely contrast wood when you want to match it in a mixed wood environment.

There are two different types of maple that are used in furniture. The first is known primarily by its scientific name of Acer saccharum, or hard maple. It is a very durable wood and though it does not take a stain well, it is the type of maple that is most often used with other woods in a complementary design. On the other hand, you should also take a look at red maple, which is also called soft maple or brown maple. It is a much less dense wood that takes a stain relatively well, though like all maple, it will never be with a great deal of evenness or consistency. With both types of maple, you should take some time to consider the natural beauty of this wood and to think about what it can do for you.

Again, one of the most attractive parts of solid maple furniture is the grain and when you purchase a piece of solid wood furniture, you will see that grain displayed to its best advantage. Far too many people will purchase wood that has been composited or which has been glued together in alternating layers. Even butcher's block woods tend to be glued together from pieces of wood that are different lengths though they have the same width. When you are considering the purchase of solid maple furniture, you can bet that you are going to be getting furniture that is built with sturdiness in mind.

Solid maple furniture is a joy to have in the home, so see what it can do for you!
