{"product_id":"woodcraft-woodshop-quilted-maple-billet","title":"Quilted Maple Billet","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuilted Maple looks like a wavy quilted pattern when the wood is flatsawn. Woodworkers often describe the look as ripples on water. This figure is caused by a distortion of the grain pattern. These special pieces of wood are frequently used in the manufacture of musical instruments. Our billets come from one of the leading suppliers of music-grade wood to luthiers around the globe. These billets, while excellent examples of figured maple, have a minor defect – either a discoloration or minor pin knot – that does not allow them to be graded as instrument quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heartwood is typically a light tan to reddish brown color and the sapwood is usually cream colored with a reddish tint. Figured grain has a tendency to tear out. Tools must be kept very sharp. Reduced cutting angles can help. Quilted maple is commonly used in custom furniture, musical instruments, cabinetry, kitchen utensils, turning projects and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnown for its beautiful appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a wavy quilted pattern when the wood is flatsawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarves, turns, and finishes well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative to North America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1-1\/4\" Thick Selection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: Ranges from 6\" to 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet sizes range from 6\"-10\" wide, 22\" long and 1-1\/4\" thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2-1\/4\" Thick Selection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 6\" or 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 22\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet sizes range from 7\" – 11\" wide, 22-28\" long and 9\/4 – 10\/4 thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e(1) Quilted Maple Billet\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible.
