Birdseye Maple is a favorite of the Italian Designers for Staterooms on luxury yachts, boardrooms and $300,000.00 offices for rich tycoons. Because of this,  the price has been driven up rather high.

Several years ago before it was Chic it appeared on BC Rich guitars and some of the higher quality bolt on guitars for the neck wood.  Today you don't see it too often.

Birdseye Maple is one of the harder stronger Maple varieties. It is easy to spot because it has lots of little freckles (Birdseyes) all over it.
