Bird's Eye Maple

[Treder_Tree]

What kind of maple does bird's eye maple come from?  I saw some antique furniture over the weekend made of it and it got me to wondering.
thanks

Normally sugar maple but can occur in soft maple too.

Here is a post from a ways back with some highly figured birdseye

An unrelated comment, take a look at the link above, whwn you get there, see the broken picture link? Thats what happens on the forum when you link to pictures on another server. They disappear. Thats why I insist that forum pictures follow our specs and are uploaded to the forestryforum server.


I HATE RED X's!!!!!

Heck boss, this is the only place on the internet where I've figured out how to post pics.  BWW

oh, i thought the chair was kinda tacky, wouldhave been a nicer adirondak chair ;D
thanks!

Thanks Steve!  The red x's are gone!

Sure Jeff, no problem!! I think it would be a shame if we couldn't post self hosted pics. I also frequent a fishing forum and they all use public, free hosting sites like --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!--.com.

well, In a perfect world I would RATHER ya'll used somebody elses server space. :D But it sure is nice to go back 3 years later and still be able to make sense of a post because the pictures are still there. In some instances on the forum, there are pictures that will never be retrieved.

Thanks again Steve. That Koa is hard to beat.
