Fine, fine ok!
Asian Maple isn't that different, I get it.
I don't want to be starting any arguments, I apologize for everything I've said that may offend.
Asian maple is looser grained and cheaper than North American Rock maple. It scores lower than the 1480 on the janka scale, sometimes as low as 900.
If Asian maple=North American maple then Sonor would save money and use it in SQ2 and delite shells.
Physically, the Asian maple is an inferior grade, there is no argument there, it's fact, as stated on any reliable woodworking/lumber site.
