Features of wood: stabilized sapwood
Sapwood is reddish-white, sometimes with a grayish sheen. The core is light, pink-brown in color. Without characteristic smell or taste. Annual rings are not too pronounced, but moderately small or medium in size on radial and tangential sections
The rays are visible to the naked eye, but only so large
Although most of the texture is fine-grained with straight fibers. But figured maple with a texture is often found, which includes a wavy, quilted, folded pattern or the well-known "bird's eye".
Wood has lower indicators than other types of maples. It is of medium weight (specific gravity 545 kg/m3) and hardness (Yanke hardness 850 pounds).
It has an average durability index, but with proper processing, the wood is relatively stable and not prone to rotting.
What is maple cap?
Splints on the tree with the usual direction of the fibers changed, thereby changing the wood texture characteristic of maple. It is this knotty growth that leads to the formation of strange patterns on the surface of the wood inside.
The cause of the formation of the cap is considered to be stress from trauma to the bark, fungi, wood, viruses or caused by insects. Wood, as a rule, grows quickly, abnormal growth is observed mainly in tree trunks, but also occurs on lignified roots. Due to the rapid growth and various forms of growth, the wood fibers form extremely intricate and beautiful patterns of kapa.
Uses of maple sap
Maple sap is highly valued by artists because of its unique fiber texture, structure and relative rarity. Works of applied art, design objects, unique furniture, decorative veneer are created from it.
Interesting fact
In more humid parts of the range, for example, as in the Olympic National Park (English Olympic National Park), which is located near the city of Port Angeles (Washington state, USA), the bark of the broadleaf maple is covered with epiphytic species of mosses and ferns. In similarly humid areas, along the west coast of the United States, maple tree sap is most common.

Materials obtained from wood are widely used in folk crafts and decorative and applied art.
Linden, aspen, birch, alder, willow - these trees also provide wood for crafts, and/or rod and linden for weaving. If the material is unusual and rare, it brings the product to a new level - a valuable product or even a work of art, which deserves a larger than local history museum. Among them is a cap (growth), a defect in the development of trees of various species. In terms of physical and aesthetic properties, processed sapwood (birch sapwood is used more often than others) can compete with valuable types of wood that are not harvested in our country, stone, bone. It is hard, strong, dense, with a characteristic fine structure, which is not difficult to emphasize and strengthen with natural methods of decoration and coloring in products made of birch bark and other species.
Caps are classified as growths on trees, local thickenings on branches, trunk, roots. It is formed by highly deformed, silky wood with many dormant buds. The interweaving of annual layers, the pattern of kidney holes and rings forms the visible structure of the wood.
And the very exits of the kidney to the surface — form a complex texture, similar to a frozen picture of drops and splashes. Both qualities, structure and texture, are used in the products.
From the growth of the wood, close to the capu souvel. In it, the wood also forms a complex, but less winding pattern, and there is no variety of kidneys characteristic of kapu. Young shoots often grow from buds on the crown of a living tree. This is typical for suveli. Growths can take the form of local and zonal thickenings. They are found both on the visible part of the plant and underground, where the cap is also covered with bark, like the trunk of a normal tree. Fresh shoots from "awakened kidneys" growing from under the ground near the parent tree allow you to find an underground cap (kapokorin).
Cap growth without special treatment as an interior decoration
Cap is a defect in the development of wood. It is difficult to single out a general or single cause of the appearance. Most likely, crown formation is a complex response of a growing tree to external influences, probably associated with mutations.
Indirect confirmation of this is the presence of multiple canes on the affected tree and its absence on neighboring trees. It is possible that local damage to the plant, disease, triggers growth (leads to protective activity in response to the tree). Kapa is more on grafted trees, trees with strong pruning. There are mentions that walnut plantations with grafted trees served as a rich source of valuable capping material. To improve the "psychological portrait" of the kapa, the concept of stronger, diseased and immune parent tree material is used. This shifts the emphasis from the growth - a disease, to the drop - evidence of the natural growth and "hardening" of the tree. Since the cap is rare, and it is very time-consuming to set up a laboratory experiment of the development of the cap, it is unlikely that such a concept has reliable factual basis.
Canker is found in the irregular formation of wood and bark from the cambium and the abnormal development of accessory buds. In the course of natural, healthy growth, a new annual layer and bark is formed from the cambium.
In kapi, the directions of wood growth are not oriented, the wood layers are bent and crumpled. The emergence of appendages and the presence of dormant buds waiting for their time is a normal consequence of tree growth. Superficial dormant buds can normally develop into shoots. Some find themselves in the thickness of the tree and upon awakening form local thickenings on the trunk. In the case of kapa, the process of nucleation and development of the kidneys is extremely active (by the standards of the tree's life). The buds deform the wood in the thickness of the cap, forming a blistered surface.
