use Hard Rock Maple. It is particularly recommended for industrial uses, such as in bakeries or butcher shops.

maple. Available in thicknesses of 1 3/8" and 1 7/8". Lengths to 12 feet.

ALDER. Although alder sells for less than maple, most woodworkers and furniture makers consider it a
superior species. lt is more machinable than maple and is highly prized for its ability to accept a variety
of stains. With the proper stain, alder can be used as a substitute for cherry, mahogany, walnut and other domestic
species. Alder grows in the same forests as maple and is similar in apperance, texture and density. Standard butcher
block with 1.3" or 1.7" laminations. Available in thicknesses of 7/8", 1 3/8" and 1 7/8".

ALDER SELECT. (NO FINGER-JOINTS!) In
response to many requests, the Perfect Plank Co. is now offering alder plank made with full-length, clear strips.
The material is available only in the thickness of 1 7/8" and only in four lengths (3 ft, 4 ft, 6 ft, and 8 ft). The
strips used in this product vary in width from 1" to 3". As noted, alder is an extremely versatile species that
is virtually indistinguishable in appearance from its sister species, Pacific Coast Maple.

where durability is an important requirement. Hickory if often used for restaurant tables and in various domestic applications.

in the 1 7/8" thickness and in lengths up to 8 feet.

MAHOGANY. As environmental concerns about South American forests have increased, plantation-grown mahogany has emerged as a
popular (and less expensive) alternative. These trees were planted at various locations in the South Pacific after
World War Two and are being harvested on a sustained yield basis. Plantation mahogany has more color variance and
slightly different grain patterns than the South American-grown material. Finger-jointed in thicknesses of
1 3/8" and 1 7/8".

MAHOGANY WIDE-LAM. Mahogany wide-lam is constructed with full-length strips of plantation-grown mahogany. The strips are usually
3" to 5" wide and are free of finger-joints. Available in thicknesses of 1 3/8" and 1 3/4". Note: An
additional 10 to 15 days are often necessary to process wide-lam mahogany.

MIRVANA. In the search for substitutes for mahogany and other expensive hardwoods, one emerging alternative is Mirvana, an
affordable species imported from South East Asia. Mirvana is lighter in color and has a slightly different texture than
mahogany. It has been successfully used for restaurant tables and in other interior applications. Mirvana
is available in thicknesses from 1 3/8" to 3".
