Quilted maple
Hi,
I'm a newbie, and this is my first post.
My retirement activity has been to commence woodworking, building some furniture but mostly refurbishing old pieces - silky oak generally.
An old buffet i purchased as a silky oak piece seems to me to be quilted maple. I've worked with Queensland maple, and have not seen anything like this.
Any advice on what specific kind of maple is involved would be appreciated.
Thanks

I cant help with ID Geo45 but it is an awesome piece and well worth the effort to restore.
Some one will snap it up for sure if you are doing it to onsell.
Good one, Cheers, Ian"The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.. it can't be done.

It will seem like sacrilege to some, but if it were me and I was doing the dresser up for resale, I'd replace the top with a veneered board and re-purpose the quilted stuff into something more valuable.

Well it's definitely not silky oak...
Many (all?) timbers do exhibit quilting like that, some are just more common than others. We have several boards of what the boss tells me is QLD Maple at work that look just like that. If the colour and general grain pattern (disregarding the quilting) look right, what you have could well be QLD Maple

Stunning! Where do you source pieces like that?
