Maple burl is all about the figure — tight clusters of eyes, sweeping grain swirls, and natural inclusions that make every set one of a kind. Raw maple burl can be soft and prone to movement, so these are stabilized with clear resin under vacuum to harden the wood, lock in moisture resistance, and bring out the depth of the figure without adding any color. Bookmatched from the same blank so the grain mirrors across both scales — the symmetry reads well on a finished handle.

Hard Maple — creamy white with subtle grain that lets the figure do the talking. Stabilized to improve moisture resistance and bring out the depth of any figure. Curly and bird's eye variants produce a chatoyant shimmer that shifts with the light.
