Spalted Sycamore Lumber

American sycamore is something of a sleeper as far as native hardwoods go. For years it was used as a secondary wood - for drawer sides, web frames, etc. - if it was processed into furniture-grade lumber at all. Often, sycamore wood has served more humbly for items not requiring high-grade stock, such as pallets. One reason is plain sawn Sycamore doesn’t dry well, twisting and bowing significantly unless preventative measures are taken.

Sycamore wood is used for many products. It’s solid, very durable and difficult to split. It is used for different types of furniture, including bed frames, headboards, dressers, and even countertops in homes. Sycamore wood can also be used for making hardwood floors.

Solid and stable, a Sycamore cutting board is a popular choice among butchers and cooks for cutting meats and other food items. Sycamore boards are not as brittle and easy to break apart than cutting boards made of oak or maple. They are also common in kitchens as butcher blocks.

If you love woodworking or even whittling, sycamore wood is a good option for DIY projects and hobbies. It retains a hard-wearing edge great in quality, perfect for carved items. It also alleviates any concerns about durability.
