Eddie,
 
                    Rock maple can be a great backing, although with osage I would prefer hickory. I would reserve the maple personally for lighter SG woods...just my opinion.....

I agree with Brian! :o  ;) I've never used maple backing but from what I have heard, use it on lighter woods.  Pat
