Mongo Muddler - Birdseye Sugar Maple. Simple, comfortable in the hand, smooth to the touch. Mongo Muddler's, It's All About the Wood! Birdseye Maple (Acer Saccharum) is a Temperate Hardwood from the US and Canada with a rare and mysterious characteristic found in certain Hard Maple trees. It has an even, fine texture, straight to wavy grain, and a pale color, darkening towards the heart of the wood, with red/brown lines. No one knows how Birdseye Maple forms; each piece of wood has one-of-a-kind figure unique and different than any other. The distinctive pattern resembles tiny, swirling eyes disrupting the smooth lines of grain. It is somewhat reminiscent of a burl, but it is quite different: the small knots that make the burl are missing. It is not known what causes the phenomenon. Research into the cultivation of bird's eye maple has so far discounted the theories that it is caused by pecking birds deforming the wood grain or that an infecting fungus makes it twist. However, no one has demonstrated a complete understanding of any combination of climate, soil, tree variety, insects, viruses or genetic mutation that may produce the effect. . Waves, "Birdseye's", whorls; you never know what is hidden in the wood. Janka Hardness Rating: 1450. Birdseye Sugar Maple Mongo Muddler's come in two sizes: Mongo Muddlers are 1-3/8" diameter by 9" long. (This is my favorite size.) Slim Mongo Muddlers are 1" diameter by 12" long.
