Ambrosia Maple Door

This is my ambrosia Maple door for my cabin. Made with 4/4 lumber. Frames were laminated instead of made with 8/4 lumber. There is an air space between the panels to help with the temperature extremes here in Indiana.

A UV friendly stain and poly. Got a bit too dark of stain on this one. A little disappointed in the final product because of the darker than desired stain but its still beautiful. Its all installed now and really sets off the front of the cabin.

A straight clear coat works great. Be sure not to get too dark of a stain or it will make the ambrosia figure become less defined and you want it to pop out at you. Is the ambrosia for your room T&G or staight or how are you doing it?

Yes, I like the natural look of Maple and the ambrosia stripes. Maple can vary in color quite a bit. Red Maple tends to have more white sapwood. Silver Maple tends to have a bit darker wood although I've seen a real good white sapwood in both. Heartwood is usually much darker and will vary widely as to the amount. Nice heartwood can really be beautiful in some of the larger logs. I just took some curly ambrosia Maple out of the kiln today and it has a wild heartwood with curly figure and ambrosia stripe. Really pretty wood. Sounds like you have a good selection of logs available to choose from. From what I have seen the larger logs make the better ambrosia Maple. Look for the small worm holes in the trunk. This will give you an indication of how much worm will be in the lumber.

yea your right the larger ones have the figure just around the edges with a very small heart and all creamy white i think they will look great slabed out . the smaller trees 18 to 24 all have the intense figuring . we only cut 6 down all where infected. i have some 10 feet around and i wood guess 60 + feet tall there massive . we check the hole ten acres all the trees are peppered with the holes :i_am_so_happy::i_am_so_happy::i_am_so_happy:they can wait lol

Yes, the look of the pattern is kind of "hypnotizing" can't stare at it too long! Whart part of Indiana, I grew up in southern Indiana. Daviess County.
