Quilted Maple is most commonly found in the Pacific Northwest of North America, particularly in western Bigleaf Maple trees (Acer macrophyllum) that grow along the coastal regions of the United States and Canada. The “quilted” effect isn’t a separate species—it’s a rare, naturally occurring figure in the grain, caused by irregular growth patterns that create a soft, rippling, three-dimensional texture across the wood’s surface.

Quilted Maple is known to symbolize warmth, clarity, and transformation.
