Rubio Monocoat is a durable, repairable, and maintainable hard-wax oil finish that

enhances the natural beauty of wood; it does not mask woods natural beauty by

applying a “plastic” coating like other finishes. Rubio Monocoat is ZERO VOC and

molecularly bonds to the wood fibers which provides the easiest application, one coat,

in the industry. Never a lap line or a dry line and spot repairs are easily accomplished.

Heartwood is light cream to

yellowish brown, with occasional

streaks of gray or green. Sapwood

is pale yellow to white, not always

clearly demarcated from the

heartwood. Can also be seen in

mineral stained colors ranging from

dark purple to red, green, or yellow.

Heartwood is a light pinkish red

when freshly cut, darkening to a

deeper golden red with time

and upon exposure to light.

Sapwood is a pale yellowish color.

Unlike most other hardwoods,

the sapwood of maple lumber is

most commonly used rather than

its heartwood. Sapwood color

ranges from almost white, to a

light golden or reddish brown,

while the heartwood is a darker

reddish brown. Silver Maple can

also be seen with curly or quilted

grain patterns.

Heartwood can range from a

lighter pale brown to a dark

chocolate brown with darker

brown streaks. Color can

sometimes have a grey, purple, or

reddish cast. Sapwood is pale

yellow-gray to nearly white.

Figured grain patterns such as

curl, crotch, and burl are also seen.
