For more than 55 years, MapleLeaf Hardwoods has supplied craftsmen with custom-selected, kiln-dried figured hardwoods, with curly maple at the heart of its Hughesville, Pennsylvania operation. Most of its domestic lumber comes from the West Branch Susquehanna area, and each board is picked for figure rather than bought as mill-run material; more than 98% of the stock is FAS grade. The company also prepares book-matched sets and other luthier material, backed by a money-back satisfaction guarantee.

Its 50,000-plus square feet hold more than 100 domestic and exotic species, including carefully matched live-edge slabs and a substantial tonewood operation for musical-instrument makers. Rick and his son Brian travel internationally to find unusual, naturally figured woods from sustainably managed forests, while the showroom and manufacturing operation help customers choose material for projects ranging from furniture to custom flooring.OXFORD, PA
