Info & History of the Tree hardwood used in this board- Anyone who has seen maples in full fall color will long remember their brilliant yellow, scarlet, and orange. The autumn color show alone would be enough to make the maple a treasured tree, but its usefulness as a source of everything from maple sugar to fine lumber ensures maple’s place in American culture and history. Among this family of medium to large trees, with their crowns of ascending limbs, can be found some of this country’s outstanding shade and ornamental trees. The United States has 13 native maples, with at least one species native to every state except Hawaii.
For many reasons this tall tree with its dense shading canopy has a place of honor across New England and throughout much of the East, growing naturally in every state east of the Mississippi River except Florida. Also the earliest French and English settlers were quick to learn the bounty of maples from the eastern Native American tribes. These pioneers were soon making their own maple sugar and syrup from the sweet sap of the sugar maple. From the red maple, they learned to make ink and dyes. (Thus why we chose to call this board the Pioneer Board) And today as in early times, maple wood is a favorite choice for fine furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and household utensils.
