Hi,

Maple -n- oak are not equivalent and you cannot use maple as peg stock mostly because it's structurally not suitable for such a function and also because, for related reasons, it splits relatively poorly and pegs should be riven not sawn. Better haul the chunks of straight grained oak out of your fire wood stack that have been drying for a few years.

Greetings,

Don Wagstaff
