Sorta Holmegaard, massive tips

[PatM]

Hard Maple typically refers to the two types of Sugar Maple.  Regular Sugar Maple and the slightly less frequently found Black Maple. Both of these are called Rock Maple or Hard Maple in the wood industry.
 I think most Basketball(and probably Squash) courts are made of this.
 The other large types of Maple tend to be noticeably softer wood. Silver, Red, Western, Mountain etc.

PatM has it right and most of the hard maple floors for the pro basketball teams are made right here in the UP of Michigan

Rick, the bow was sitting on that PVC bow rack by the target butts the entire day. Sorry you didn't see it.

Salve, Loki, and thanks. I felt a bit like Gallahad wandering a blasted landscape in search of the grail while trying to get a holmie that worked. Of course, I am far less chaste than him, but all's well that ends well, a somewhat famous writer once said.

This weekend for sure for those pictures, and I'll be posting the gathering photos on the boards, too.
