I’ve written just about all there is say about Maple elsewhere.<\/a><\/p>\n

Maple is very hard so it cuts quite cleanly and requires only minimal sanding which is always nice.<\/p>\n

All cuts were made using the Easy Wood Tool<\/a> system. Forward and reverse chucking was in a Nova Chuck<\/a>. Sanding was with Gold and Green Wave sanding discs from Packard Woodworks<\/a>. Final finish is Shellawax<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
