Ambrosia Maple with Amber Resin Bowl

AMBROSIA MAPLE 

Ambrosia Maple is technically not a specific species of maple, but rather a general description of any type of maple that has been infested by ambrosia beetles. The beetles bore into the tree, and with it bring fungus that discolors the wood creating a variety of greyish-blue to brown streaks. Ambrosia Maple is considered a decorative feature which gives the wood additional character. Maple (Acer saccharum) sapwood color ranges from nearly white, to an off-white cream color, sometimes with a reddish or golden hue. The heartwood tends to be a darker reddish brown. Straight, close grain with a fine, uniform texture.

Finish is Non toxic-food safe. Purely organic 100% White Bees Wax. Highest of quality

The epoxy resin is also food grade and is tinted with Amber and mother of pearl white non-toxic powders.
