Important Notes

This piece is a sample picture. You will receive a similar piece. Surface condition may be rough and/or wax coated. Dimensions may vary +/- 1/16".

Pro tip: Hard Maple is heavy – consider weight relief or pairing with a lighter body wood. Always use sharp carbide tooling to prevent burning when routing or sawing.
