Some of the larger maple species have
valuable timber, particularly Sugar Maple in North America, and
Sycamore Maple in Europe. Sugar Maple wood, often known as "hard maple", is the wood of choice for bowling pins, bowling alley lanes, drums and butcher's blocks. Maple wood is also used for the production of
wooden baseball bats, though less often than ash or hickory.
Some maple wood has a highly decorative wood grain, known as flame
maple and quilt maple. This condition occurs randomly in individual trees of several species, and often cannot be detected until the wood has been sawn, though it is sometimes visible in the standing tree as a rippled pattern in the bark. Maple is considered a tonewood, or a wood that carries sound waves well, and
is used in numerous instruments such as guitars and drums.

Ben oui, mais bon le "sycamore" comme tu dis, c'est de l'érable européen... Donc c'est un peu comme le mec qui dit "oui mais les nouvelle Gibson c'est de la daube, ils prennent de l'african mahogany au lieu d'acajou d'Afrique comme avant Laughing
