Messy Tester's Feedback

  • Maple is unique to the 104 lampworking color palette.
"Originally, I was comparing it to effetre medium or dark amber, but while pulling out all my samples I was rather excited to discover that it is much closer to Czech Smoke Topaz." – Serena Thomas
"Photo shows it with Effetre’s Dark and Medium Topaz, which at first glance, rods of Maple may look like. But as you see it is a brown and the others are more orange/amber color." Read more at Elasia's blog. – Elasia

“What's particularly lovely about Maple to me is that it does not strike and does not react - it stays that true medium brown. It's not so dark that you can't make spacers with it, but not too light that it won't show up when encased.” Read more at Kandice’s blog.
