Maple is a versatile wood that is popular for a variety of items, ranging from flooring to musical instruments. This type of hardwood is renowned for its strength and beauty, making it an excellent choice for your gun cabinet. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of maple wood.
Durability
The first thing to note when it comes to maple wood is its durability. It is naturally resistant to moisture and will not shrink or swell when exposed to high humidity. Maple also stands up well against heat and general wear and tear. Additionally, it is resistant to warping, splintering and cracking when used in cabinets and other furniture. This makes it an especially attractive option if you are looking for something that can withstand the test of time.
Maple has a Janka rating — a measure of how hard it is compared to other woods — of 1450. This means that it is harder than oak (1290) and walnut (1010), making it ideal for applications where strength and resilience are important. A maple gun cabinet will last you for many years without losing its luster.
Beauty
Maple wood is known for its beautiful grain pattern and smooth surface, adding an elegant touch to any furniture piece. Maple wood is visually very versatile, ranging from creamy white (from the maple tree’s sapwood) to deep red (from the heartwood). It can be finished with a clear sealer to bring out its natural beauty. Additionally, maple can be stained in a variety of colors. USA Gun Cabinets offers an assortment of solid maple gun cabinets in multiple stain options, including coffee, cherry, tobacco, cappuccino, and onyx. This allows you to customize your pieces to match your room’s aesthetic or personal style.
Virtually all hardwoods change color over time. Light-colored woods like maple tend to naturally darken with exposure to UV light and oxygen. However, this change will be minimal if your gun cabinet is kept away from sunlight.
Affordability
Another benefit of maple is that it is more affordable than other hardwoods like cherry and walnut. This makes it an excellent choice if you’re on a budget but still want a high-quality gun cabinet.
Ease of Care
Because maple wood has a tightly knit grain, it doesn’t absorb oil finishes as well as other furniture hardwoods. These finishes also tend to cause maple to yellow with time. USA Gun Cabinets seals its maple gun cabinets with a high-quality lacquer, leaving them low maintenance and largely care-free. To keep your maple gun cabinet in the best shape, we recommend occasional dusting and polishing.
Eco-Friendliness
Maple is one of the best options in terms of its eco-friendliness. Not only do maple trees grow in abundance, but the trees used by USA Gun Cabinets are also locally sourced and harvested in a sustainable way. This lends to a friendlier carbon footprint and ensures that our forests remain protected for future generations.
Amish Craftsmanship
The Amish have a long tradition of craftsmanship. For centuries, they have passed down their skills from one generation to the next. This has resulted in an unsurpassed level of quality. Amish craftsmen not only take pride in their work, but they strive for perfection in everything they do. Since the Amish don’t use electricity, they utilize hydraulic and pneumatic power tools to handcraft each piece of furniture to precision.
So when you buy an Amish solid maple gun cabinet, you can be confident that each piece is handmade and custom crafted just for you. You can also rest assured that our gun cabinets are made from 100% solid wood, making them heavier and uniform in grain and texture.
