General Description:
In most respects, soft maple is very similar to hard maple. Generally the sapwood is greyish-white, sometimes with darker colored pith flecks. The heartwood varies from light to dark reddish-brown. The wood is usually straight-grained. The lumber is generally sold unselected for color.

“Curly” Soft maple is not actually its own species, but is simply a description of the pattern or figure in the grain of the wood. The “curly” description comes from the ripples in the grain that create a three dimensional effect, making the grain appear as if it has “curled” along the length of the board.
