Firstly, I must tell you that, when writing this series I am saving the best to last. I must also tell you that, unless it is happening on a subconscious level I am not doing it on purpose.
I have felt it necessary to tell you those things, because when I chose to write this piece on Clyde Estuary Birds Eye Maple, I realised that I would once again be professing my undying love for what is my favourite and most beautiful of all the hardwood flooring species I have come across.
As I have said that about several species covered previously, and as this has not been done consciously I can only assume (or blame) my subconscious for picking them in this order, or maybe it is because I am so new, and filled with so much passion about hardwood flooring that I have enough love to go around.
Anyway, digression over, let’s get down to the wood. As you can see from the picture inset above Clyde estuary Maple is one of the lightest species on the market, and it is also one of the most beautiful (yes, I know I have always said I prefer the darker species, sue me). It is called birds eye because the knots (circular swirls found in all woods) are shaped like birds eyes.
Maple is one of the harder woods, and if properly cared for Clyde Estuary Birdseye maple flooring, is the kind of flooring that you pass down through generations as it lasts lifetime after lifetime. For full details of how to care for your floor read this post, and this post tells you how to refinish if the worst comes to the worst.

That is a beautiful grain pattern. I like maple but this has to the the ultimate.
