Wide Plank Flooring : Ambrosia Maple

1-800-928-9602

The unusual streaking in our Ambrosia Maple wide plank flooring occurs when Ambrosia Beetles enter a Maple tree, bringing a fungus with them that spreads up and down the tree, following the vessels in the wood.  The result is a distinctive gray to brown streaking against the creamy white Red Maple wood, accented by the “eyes” of the beetle tunnels.  Ambrosia Maple is sometimes called “ghost” maple because the eyes of the beetle tunnels appear ghostly against the streaks. The streaks are truly natural and unique character markings, and they do not affect the structural integrity of the wood.

Ambrosia Maple wide plank flooring is available in the Premium grade.

The gray to brown streaking in Ambrosia Maple is a highly-prized natural discoloration. The floors in these photos have had no finish applied; you are looking at the raw wood. Other colors can be obtained through the use of stain.
