WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT MAPLE? BEAUTIFUL, DURABLE, RELIABLE, FUN TO TURN, MOSTLY. SOME MAY DISAGREE, BUT IT HAS SOME OF THE SAME PROPERTIES OF CHERRY. THE CONTRAST BETWEEN DARK AND LIGHT WOOD IS MORE DRAMATIC IN MAPLE, BUT I FIND THE GRAIN IN CHERRY TO BE MORE PRONOUNCED. IF YOU LIKE THAT KIND OF THING!

PERHAPS I SHOULD EMBELLISH A FEW MAPLE BOWLS WITH PYROGRAPHY - YES, NO?
