Many pianos are made of maple.

Wooden dishes and rolling pins are usually made from maple wood.

During the spring of the year when the sap is flowing, the average mature maple tree will yield from fifteen to twenty gallons of sap in a period of three to four weeks.

This sap is afterwards boiled down to maple syrup and sugar.
Hemlock trees, despite the fact that they rank among the most beautiful trees of the forest, produce lumber which is suitable only for rough building operations.

The wood is brown and soft and will not last long when exposed to the weather.
