Ambrosia Maple comes from regular Red Maple trees that have been infested by the ambrosia beetle. The small beetle bores multiple tunnels and short galleries called cradles. A fungus is responsible for the black and gray streaks that accompany each tunnel and adjacent wood. The streaks add a unique look to this hardwood without affecting its structural integrity. As the tree grows it stretches the streak that make the beautiful Ambrosia pattern.
We have many different size pieces from 5 x 5 x 2 up to complete logs. We also carry tuning squares from as small as pen blanks which are 3/4" x 3/4" x 5" to larger hollow vessel blanks. For complete logs please enquire via e-mail and we will be happy to give you a call.
