MAPLE, QUILTED



my samples:


face and side grain of a bowl blank donated by Jim Glynn. Thanks, Jim. The quilting shows up just a little better in the wood than it does in these pics. I took a side angle shot hoping to get a better representation of the quilting but it didn't help so I didn't post it. The yellow in the upper right corner of the face shot is an artifact of the lighting --- the color of the wood is uniform throughout. The slight orange area on the lower left of the side grain shot is where I did not fully sand off the sealer Jim put on the wood. The vertical lines on the side grain shot are sanding scratches, not inherent in the wood.


plank pair pic contributed by Todd Levy; thanks Todd. These pieces have been moistened for the pic.


veneer


veneer --- I'm not really sure whether this should be called quilted or just curly (OK, VERY curly) but I've put it here and here it stays. Until I move it. Hmm ... looking at this again, I now see that it is DEFINITELY not quilted, so I'll just have to move it. Ok, some day I'll do that.


type chart

I don't know where this originated --- it was sent to me by a correspondent: AHA ! I see from checking my back emails that this was provided by Jim Glynn, who donated the quilted maple at the top of the page, and who has also donated several other woods to the site.

planks


plank of the quilted form sometimes designated as a "sausage" quilt --- actually, this one is not a good representation of a sausage quilt, but it's not so far off as to make the designation bogus.


plank and closeup --- this heavy rolling quilted look is sometimes called "sausage quilt"


turning stock


spalted plank


veneer


quarter matched veneer


"flame" quilted maple


curly quilted maple


bookmatched pairs of what appears to be VERY high quality quilted maple. Although not advertised as curly, the first piece in particular appears be almost "fiddleback" instead of quilted.
