Curly Maple Slimline with Chrome Pen Set

Curly Maple is not a specific species of maple, but instead refers to the kind of grain. It's called curly because the ripples in the pattern of the grain look as if it were curled. This type of wood is also called "fiddleback." Maple is a durable, dense wood usually blonde in color. 

Curly Koa wood is native to Hawaii has a medium to coarse texture with a beautiful grain and colors that range from a golden brown to shades of red.
