The look of walnut for less, these beautiful thermal boards that are also called Torrefied Maple are made with "The Torrefaction Process" and gives them a dark brown color.
Torrefaction caramelizes the wood at a high temperature (between 160 and 240 degrees Celsius), emphasizing the wood grain and giving it a beautiful change in color. This treatment leaves our hardwood maple boards a beautiful coffee brown with the strength of the board being on par with one untreated. Torrefied wood is an entirely natural and eco-friendly choice, eliminating the use of any harmful chemicals. These boards engrave beautifully and make your design stand out from the rest. Torrefied wood has also less of a tendency to warp or shrink due to temperature and humidity variations.
