Description
Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), also known as European Sycamore or Sycamore Maple, is a pale, creamy-white hardwood native to Europe. It often features a subtle, wavy or figured grain, giving it a refined and elegant appearance. Over time, the wood may develop a warm, golden hue.
Sycamore is highly valued for its fine, even texture and excellent workability. It machines, carves, and finishes exceptionally well, making it a preferred choice for fine furniture, cabinetry, musical instruments, veneers, and decorative turnings. It also takes stains and polishes beautifully, enhancing its smooth, lustrous surface.
While not as dense as some exotic hardwoods, Sycamore offers good durability and stability, though it is best suited for indoor applications due to its moderate resistance to moisture.
With its light colour, fine texture, and versatility, Sycamore remains a favoured hardwood for artisans and craftsmen seeking a clean, elegant aesthetic.
