Also, when we process a batch of our very popular maple corbels we sort our parts according to appearance. The most attractive white maple wood goes into our Maple corbels and the discolored and/or slightly knotty maple goes into our Paint Grade corbels. This results in a very high percentage of usable lumber. *We use protein based, biodegradable packing peanuts.* Unfortunately they still will end up scattered across your yard. However, they may be used as fertilizer and are degraded by water.
