There is but I dont think its a true maple, its generally considered a ginormous weed. Ive diced up a fair bit of it and it didnt seem to have annular rings that pronounced in contrast between the winter and summer growth. It also usually grows all crooked-like so I dont think youd find much thats so straight. Not ruling it out, just sayin. There are lots of other maples beside sugar (rock) and big leaf, though.

<p>Admittedly, I don't know what a "flin flon fir" is but fir trees are usually coniferous soft woods. I suppose it's possible to use for back (and presumably side) material but generally soft woods aren't used...</p>

<p>I don't mind it either. I think the finish is nice with the matte look, nice burst and the tortoise binding. I just find very plain maple a strange choice for an individual maker..but the maker certainly pulled it off. It's also a strange selection for a wood harvester that would be thinking of woods for musical instruments...it's not like figured maple is hard to come by.</p>

<p>Well..big leaf popped into my head, but that sure is some straight grained and wide summer/winter growths..and exceptionally plain. What's the raw colour of the wood through the sound hole, as Ned asked?</p>
<p>If the wood was felled and purchased local (N. America), Big Leaf could indeed be it..but it just seems odd for an individual maker to use plain maple...</p>
