Bigleaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), more commonly known as pacific coast maple or western maple, is the largest maple in Canada. It grows exclusively in the southwest corner of British Columbia.

Bigleaf maple is a hard, heavy attractive wood that’s generally used for higher value, appearance-grade products, such as flooring and furniture, as well as turnings, musical instruments and interior millwork.

Bigleaf maple is moderately available. Appearance and millworking grades are produced. Common grades include Select and better, #1 shop, and frame grade.
