Maple--Ambrosia

Our maple is sold stabilized. Ambrosia maple, with it's distinctive lines of coloring, gains its pattern from the ambrosia beetle and the associated ambrosia fungi, which stains the wood surrounding the boring paths of the beetle. Once stabilized, this wood is durable and water-proof, with an intricate pattern of discoloration and holes.
