Has anyone else had recent maple hardwood with seemingly no finish, especially compared to other hardwoods and previous pieces of maple?
FYI Support - I have a handful of pieces of maple hardwood and it seems like none of them have a quality finish that previous pieces did or that other current hardwoods have.
I suppose I have to contact my customers and encourage them to choose another type of wood as I do not feel comfortable sending this
I toss on a coat of matt or semigloss in any case as the cut places at least have no finish and it would not be a surprise if the hand cleaner I use to clean them removed some coatings anyway.
