Maple is a "white" Hardwood with very tight and even grain. It is sold as soft or hard, which describes quite well it characteristics, hard is as you would find in a butcher block, very resiliant; Soft is used in furniture and moulding generally. Both machine very well, but due to their tight grain staining is a little more challenging than with other softer woods. Oak is also a hardwood, and reddish brown in colour and is usually sold as "white", which has marine applications, is seen as decorative veneer in furniture from "the great age of oak" and can be carved; or "red, which is the typical oak seen in kitchen cabinets and furniture generally nowadays. Both oaks take many different kinds of stains well. The major difference between Maple wood and the Oak family, other than colour, is that the oaks are characterized by the visible pores which run through the wood, and give the arch shaped grain pattern when flatsawn, whereas the pores of the maple are so small as to be invisible to the naked eye, leaving a much smoother surface on all cuts.

What is the difference between cherry wood and maple wood?
As far as the differences between maple and cherry: Maple is a very hard, tight-grained wood that tends to be light and even in color. While there are some grain variations, they are generally not significant. There can be small dark streaks of sapwood from time to time which are considered normal and not a cause for replacement (although I have had people insist that it was a defect!!). Cherry on the other hand tends to be a softer wood that varies significantly in color from almost white in some parts to darker brown and reddish in others. It is a bit softer than maple, and has distinct grain patterns running through it. It tends to darken up quite a few shades over time whereas maple will generally stay the same or darken only slightly. Many people prefer cherry as the grain and color variations can be quite beautiful. Generally if there is a stain/glaze applied to the cherry, it evens out the color for the most part.

Having said that, many today's brands uses Chinese maple, however I'd suggest to purchase Canadian maple decks, since price difference is very little.
