SYCAMORE

Sycamore is similar to maple with a fine and even texture. The wood is often largely sapwood of a white to light tan color. The heartwood tends towards a darker, reddish brown color. Quartersawn surfaces reveal distinct ray flecks making it look sort of freckled. Sycamore is easy to work with and finishes well, but if you are into steam bending, you’d be better off finding a different species to deal with.
