Curly Maple is not actually a species, but simply a description of a figure in the grain. Curly Maple occurs most often in soft maples, but is also seen in hard maples. The heartwood is typically a light tan to reddish brown color and, of course, features a pronounced grain pattern. The sapwood is usually cream colored with a reddish tint

There is a big plane gouge all the way down the length of my board, otherwise the board has nice figure but I can’t plane out the gouge because I need the full 1/4 thickness. Very disappointing, I might have to buy a new piece for my project
