Sycamore is the largest of the European maples and was introduced into Britain in the Middle Ages. It is a plain but attractive timber with a white to cream colour, which darkens to a gold colour over time. 

Sycamore has excellent working properties, can be cut in any direction and produces an excellent finish.
It has clean, non-tainting properties and its white appearance and smooth finish means that sycamore is ideal for use in food preparation areas like kitchen table tops, work tops and butchers’ blocks, rolling pins and bread boards (traditionally it was used for turned bowls, platters and tableware). It should be rubbed with olive oil before use, repeat the treatment occasionally. 

Sycamore has the druidic qualities of communication , love and learning to receive . 
It was a sacred tree to the Egyptians and continues to be a doorway into those realms where beings and forces associated with Egypt can still be contacted. It is said to hold the knowledge of the laws of abundance and supply and how to utilize them to your greatest benefit. It also has knowledge of hidden treasures. Attuning to the sycamore will increase all your connections to nature .
