hard maple
Dense northern wood
Hard maple is the sugar maple tree or its wood, distinguished from soft maples by its density and hardness.
The wood is prized for flooring, furniture, and cutting boards because it resists wear and denting.
Hard maple is also the standard for basketball courts and bowling alleys.
The butcher block was made of hard maple.
