We use acer saccharum, commonly called hard maple, hard rock maple, or sugar maple. The wood is very hard and strong, and takes a beautiful finish. We sand. You can tell it. The subtle figure and honey color are occasionally laced with darker character marks. (Click for more information about Maple).
 This photo I took in a labor, delivery, and postpartum room at the Renaissance Women's Center in Austin, Texas. The rooms were airy and light and furnished in maple — a hard and hardworking wood. The rocking chair is there for obvious reasons. More than once people that I have met in passing have said (in effect) to me, "I had one of my life's finest moments when they handed my newborn granddaughter to me as I sat in your chair." May we be worthy to provide such service.   |
