These panels are made of solid Ambrosia Maple hardwood, 3/4" thick. Each one is edge-glued from 2, 3, or 4 solid maple boards to make a wider surface. The wood is solid throughout, with no MDF, particleboard, plywood, or veneer.
Ambrosia Maple, also called Wormy Maple or Ghost Maple, has dark grey, brown, and black streaks against a light cream and tan background. The streaks come from fungi introduced by ambrosia beetles. Small boreholes and other natural markings and color variations may appear, and no two panels look exactly alike.
The panels are unfinished. They can be cut, routed, shaped, drilled, and sanded with standard woodworking tools. Uses include floating shelves, signs, small furniture, CNC projects, and home décor.
