Maplewood is prized for its stunning color and gorgeous grain, and is a favored material among woodworkers. Known as “kaede” in Japan (which is also a common name in the country), this material has high resistance to abrasion and wear, as well as great shock resistance. Due to these factors, maple wood is often used to create furniture and floors, including those on basketball courts.
Maplewood's blend of beauty and durability finds its way into the Pilot Custom Kaede. We have a unit for sale that carries a 14-karat gold nib in M. It comes complete with its box and papers.
