McCormick Spice Factory Maple

McCormick Spice Factory Maple

Kat Eyz Banjo Bridges is always looking for the best possible wood available to make bridges ...a bridge can only be as good as the wood it’s made from. After several searches for quality hard maple we made a connection and got access to the McCormick Spice Factory hard maple reclaimed flooring. The factory was built in 1904 immediately after the great Baltimore fire of 1904. The old factory was demolished several years ago. 

The maple is basically old growth, harvested right about 1900. The growth ring lines indicate very slow growth with some wood having slightly more open growth ring lines – I assume some of the trees were in better fertility in more open areas and gathered more sunlight which prompted a slightly faster growth rate. The density of this wood is near perfect for making bridges. I'm excited to offer this maple for your banjo bridge! The wood has beautiful looks and has all the right ingredients to make your banjo come full circle and show all its tonal potential.
