Once it is cut, it is easier for me. Weight is a big clue. Hard maple is heavier by far, although I have had some very heavy red maple, that it was hard to tell the difference. Soft red maple[which is what I buy] has a somewhat grey cast to the wood when dry. Hard maple is generally much whiter colored. The heartwood in a soft maple can be very dark ,in a hard maple it is reddish. The mill sorts most of it before I pick it up. That is the easiest way to get it right! ;>) bobbob kloeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970166320612382796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374937034386548556.post-26894911441555632512011-12-29T18:47:50.487-08:002011-12-29T18:47:50.487-08:00You got access to some pretty awesome wood.
Is t...You got access to some pretty awesome wood. <br /><br />Is there an easy way to identify a tree from being hard maple or soft. I have always struggled with this...I know hard is more dense..but by just looking alone can you tell?Pitbullnoreply@blogger.com
