I am currently playing around with some 0.2 cubes of 2" Maple for lamination.

Ian had fantastic success with his projects and I have a newfound respect for the harregat nature of maple. It isn't the heaviest or most dense of woods ever, but man does it give you backchat when trying to sand it (machines nicely though)

Finish will probably be a 2k poly. Does anyone have any notes that could be of use?

Some internet users comment that it has a tendency to blotch when trying to stain it. Ian, can you confirm any of this or give hints as to how best to finish Maple? Beautiful grain.
