Lumber / Species
Consumer choices are influenced by fashion and culture. In many countries, dark wood is a symbol of wealth and light colored wood is synonymous with poverty, but in America, Ivory and Maple hues are just as popular as the coppery tones of Brazilian Mahogany. In order to satisfy such varied demand, Maron lumber strives to create superior quality wood products using the high-grade species that populate forests in Canada and abroad.
Discover an impressive assortment of Canadian varieties, starting with Cherry, with its reddish hue that is perfectly suited to furniture and flooring.
