In researching Birds Eye Maple, Arnold found that it is listed as extremely rare. It can be found in soft maple, but is mostly found in Hard Maple. It’s usually found in maple trees that are growing in poor soil and or in difficult growing conditions. Its very difficult to tell if a tree has birds eye in it when it is a standing living tree, even for a very experienced forester. It is usually found when the log is being sawed at a saw mill. It says that they think that the bird eyes are tiny knots.
Arnold has had birds eye maple in stock before but it didn’t have a lot of eyes. This batch he has now is full of them, as many as 16 per square inch. He has only seen it like that as inlays and highlights on antique furniture.
Arnold also has curly maple, but that is not nearly as expensive, and is more plentiful.
