Yes, Maple is not as susceptible to perishing as some woods,
however, it is essential that the wood is treated on an annual
basis in order to withstand the weather conditions. (back

8. Will it shrink?
All of our stocks of Maple have been kiln dried to prevent
movement, however, wood is a natural product that lives and
breathes. It is therefore susceptible to movement in extreme
circumstances through factors such as direct heat and light
