Scientific name(s): Acer saccharum
Nineteenth century women´s shoe heels and early airplane propellers were made of this hard, strong and close-grained wood. Furniture makers from colonial times on have valued it for furniture. And before colonial times Native Americans used it as a source of sugar. Learning "sugaring" from the natives, it soon became a very important part of the New England economy. For both its wood and its sugar, it is a very valuable tree.
