Soft Maple Soft Maple, encompassing both Red Maple and Silver Maple, offers many of the visual qualities of Hard Maple with easier workability, making it a popular choice for furniture, millwork, and cabinetry. The sapwood of soft maple is white to creamy white, while the heartwood is light reddish brown to grayish brown, with mineral streaking a common and natural occurrence. Soft maple has a generally straight grain with a fine to medium, uniform texture. It is somewhat softer and more porous than Hard Maple, which allows it to machine, stain, and finish with excellent results. Scientific Name Acer rubrum Also Known As Soft Maple, Red Maple Janka Hardness Avg. Dried Weight 3.2 lbs/bdft Common Uses Cabinets Doors Furniture Mouldings Turning The Matson Difference Soft Maple is one of the more delicate species to process, and it's here that Matson's disciplined approach shows most clearly. As a White Wood species, Soft Maple is highly susceptible to staining if it isn't moved quickly from log to kiln, so we follow strict, time-sensitive processing schedules from the moment it arrives at our mill. Every load is inspected before and after kiln drying. Following these strict processes is how Matson preserves the bright color and clean appearance. The result is clean, bright Soft Maple lumber with the consistency and yield Matson customers depend on.

The heartwood of red oak ranges from light to medium reddish brown with a distinct pinkish cast, while the sapwood is nearly white to light tan, showing only moderate contrast with the heartwood. Red oak has a coarse, open grain that is generally straight, with prominent ray fleck patterns visible on quartersawn surfaces.

The heartwood of cherry ranges from light pinkish brown to deep reddish brown, darkening noticeably with age and exposure to light. The sapwood is creamy white, creating a marked contrast with the heartwood that can be reduced through steaming. Cherry has a fine, uniform, straight grain with a smooth satin texture.

Basswood Basswood, also known as American Linden, is a lightweight, soft hardwood valued for its stability and ease of machining in carving, millwork, and secondary manufacturing applications. The sapwood of basswood is creamy white to pale brown, and the heartwood is pale brown, occasionally with reddish or gray streaks, resulting in minimal contrast between heart and sap. Basswood has a straight grain with a fine, even texture and low density. It machines cleanly, holds detail well, and accepts stain and paint uniformly, with minimal natural figure to interrupt a consistent finish.

Beech Beech is a dense, close-grained hardwood found throughout the Appalachian region, valued for its hardness, consistency, and versatility across furniture, millwork, and flooring applications. The heartwood of beech is light reddish brown to a pale, almost white tone, with sapwood that shows little contrast from the heartwood, giving the wood a naturally uniform appearance. Beech has a straight grain with a fine, even texture.

Poplar Yellow Poplar, often referred to as Tulip Poplar, is a fast-growing, economical hardwood widely used in millwork, furniture components, and paint-grade applications for its stability and workability. The sapwood of poplar is white to pale yellow, while the heartwood ranges from light yellowish brown to olive green, occasionally displaying streaks of purple, gray, or black that darken somewhat with exposure. Poplar has a straight grain with a fine, uniform texture and moderate density. It machines, glues, and finishes easily, making it a dependable choice where color will be painted or concealed.

Hickory Hickory is among the hardest and most shock-resistant domestic hardwoods, known for its dramatic color contrast and rustic character in flooring, furniture, and cabinetry. The sapwood of hickory is nearly white, while the heartwood is light to medium reddish brown, creating a strong natural contrast between the two — a combination often showcased intentionally in rustic or "calico" grade selections. Hickory generally has a straight grain, though waviness or irregular grain can occur, with a coarser texture than many other domestic hardwoods. Knots and mineral streaks are natural characteristics of hickory and are frequently valued for the rustic appearance they contribute. Scientific Name Carya spp Also Known As Hickory, Pecan Janka Hardness Avg. Dried Weight 4.3 lbs/bdft Common Uses Cabinets Flooring Furniture Tool Handles The Matson Difference Hickory is one of the hardest species Matson processes, and that density calls for a different kind of attention. Our species-specific drying schedules are calibrated to Hickory's unique moisture behavior, minimizing checking and warp during kiln drying, with every load inspected before and after the process. Rather than processing away the natural knots, mineral streaks, and heart-sap contrast that give Hickory its rustic character, we grade to highlight them. The result is durable, high-yield Hickory lumber with the strength and character our customers look for.

Matson Lumber is committed to sustainable forestry and responsible hardwood sourcing. Learn how our land stewardship practices produce the premium, consistent hardwood lumber our customers depend on. Our Commitment to the Land Sustainable Hardwood. Responsibly Sourced for Generations. For over 200 years, Matson Lumber has operated with a deep respect for the working forests that make everything we do possible. Sustainable land management isn't a trend for us — it's the foundation of our ability to produce exceptional hardwood, generation after generation. Home / About Us / Sustainable Forestry / Forests We Manage. Sources We Trust. Sustainability isn't a new initiative for Matson Lumber, it's how we've operated for generations. We manage our own timberlands, work with a small, carefully vetted group of regional suppliers, and harvest in a way that protects the forests we depend on for the long term. It's the same approach that's let us produce premium hardwood lumber from Appalachian forests for nearly 200 years, and it's the reason we can promise our customers a sustainably sourced product from start to finish. Company-managed Timberlands Matson owns and manages our own timber tracts, giving us direct oversight of how our forests are harvested and regenerated, not just where our logs come from, but how they're grown. Small, Vetted Procurement Base Rather than buying from anyone with lumber to sell, we work with a small, trusted network of regional suppliers who meet our standards for responsible forestry. Regional Appalachian Sourcing Our hardwood is sourced from the Appalachian forests of Pennsylvania and the surrounding region, which is some of the finest hardwood timber in the world, harvested close to home. Responsible Harvesting Practices We harvest with the long-term health of the forest in mind, so the same land that supplies Matson today will still be producing quality hardwood for generations to come. Why Sustainable Sourcing Produces Better Lumber Sustainable forestry isn't just good stewardship, it's good business. The way a forest is managed directly affects the quality of the logs it produces, the reliability of supply over time, and our ability to stand behind every board we ship. For Matson, sustainable sourcing and premium hardwood lumber go hand in hand. Healthier Forests, Better Logs Well-managed forests grow straighter, healthier trees; which means better grain, fewer defects, and higher yield once that log reaches our mill. Long-Term Supply Consistency Responsible harvesting today protects the timber supply of tomorrow, so we can keep delivering the same species and quality our customers depend on for years to come. Traceable, Trustworthy Sourcing Because we manage our own timberlands and work with a small, vetted supplier base, we know where our logs and lumber come from, and so do our customers.
