Yes, there are many "types", or rather, species of maple. But from a wood
technology standpoint there are really only two types of maple - hard and
soft. What is sold commercially in North America as "hard" or "rock" maple
is sugar maple (Acer Saccharum) - the tree used for maple syrup production -
black maple is also a hard maple. Soft maples are your red maples (Acer
Rubrum) and silver maples (Acer Saccharinum).
