Что это такое?
A very hard, pale, fine-grained hardwood that takes heavy wear without denting - the standard for sports floors and chopping blocks.
Почему это важно?
Hard maple is priced on whiteness as much as on grade: the pale sapwood is the valuable part, which inverts the usual hardwood rule that heartwood is what you want. That makes handling and drying speed commercially critical, because stain develops fast.
