Meta – Maple Wood Cremation Keepsake Urn

Please select your Maple preference.
(sample images forthcoming)

Hard Maple is significantly harder and generally more bright white than Soft Maple. Rolling pins, flooring, bowling alleys, butcher block counters are common usages. A cremation urn doesn’t need to be functionally hard as those items. The option is offered for aesthetic reasons. Sugar Maples are the only tree that this material comes from and has a slightly higher market price.

Soft maple is mellower, slightly browner, and interesting mineral streaking is more common. The “soft” designation is only in comparison to Hard Maple and has a moderate hardness wood often used in furniture. This material is derived from a variety of Maple species.
