Title: heat treating hard maple
Post by: redhillwoods on August 01, 2019, 04:17:24 pm

Has anyone ever heat tempered sugar maple with a heat gun? What were the results? Is it an ideal wood for heat treating?

     Maple responds very well to heat treating

Haven't done it to hard maple but I suspect it would be a great candidate
