Pro Tips
- Sand maple with 150-grit then 180-grit before applying stain -- maple can be difficult to stain evenly. A pre-stain wood conditioner applied before staining significantly improves colour uniformity.
- For painted applications, maple is one of the best substrates -- the consistent, close grain produces a very smooth painted surface.
- When matching to existing maple cabinetry, test the stain on a scrap piece of the same moulding profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is maple a good material for painted cabinetry?
Yes. Maple is one of the most popular hardwoods for painted cabinetry because its tight, consistent grain produces a very smooth painted surface.
Why does maple sometimes stain unevenly?
Maple has areas of differing density that absorb stain at different rates. Applying a pre-stain conditioner before staining significantly reduces blotching and produces more uniform colour.
