This beautiful six-drawer chest is an example of Brown Maple. Brown Maple is considered to be a soft wood. Derived from the center of various soft maple trees, it is commonly referred to as the “heart wood.”
Due to the variety in its soft maple origins, Brown Maple can range in colors from medium brown to a light beige or tan color. This wood is not typically stained in light colors but is best suited for a dark stain such as Espresso, or for painting, due to the smooth nature of its surface texture. This is an elegant choice for quality handmade furniture.
As for the chest showing off this beautiful wood, that’s a Millerton Chest.
