1$\begingroup$ Maple wood in Europe in 1019? $\endgroup$Peter Taylor– Peter Taylor2019-11-13 09:34:22 +00:00Commented Nov 13, 2019 at 9:34

$\begingroup$ @PeterTaylor there are several native European maple species, e.g. Acer pseudoplatanus (called the sycamore in Europe), A. campestre, (field maple or dog oak), A platanoides, (Norway maple), etc. Sycamore is commonly used for high quality woodworking, e.g musical instrument making. $\endgroup$alephzero– alephzero2019-11-13 15:54:37 +00:00Commented Nov 13, 2019 at 15:54

$\begingroup$ Sycamore: Interesting. I didn't realize it was a European native - probably didn't reach GB until 1500 though. $\endgroup$Martin Bonner supports Monica– Martin Bonner supports Monica2019-11-14 12:12:48 +00:00Commented Nov 14, 2019 at 12:12

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. science-based), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
