Calling all woodworkers and crafters! These maple turning blanks are absolutely perfect for your next project. You get 4 beautiful pieces of hard maple, each measuring 1.5 x 1.5 x 8 inches - ideal size for turning pens, bottle stoppers, small bowls, or any detailed woodworking. The grain patterns are just gorgeous with that classic maple look, and the wood is properly kiln-dried so you don't have to worry about warping or cracking later. They come surfaced 'hit or miss' at about 1-7/16 inches but guaranteed to clean up fully at 1-1/4 inches. The white color is exactly what you want from quality maple - no weird discoloration or defects. I've used these for making custom pens and the finish comes out incredibly smooth. The pieces are consistent in size with only about 1/16 inch tolerance, so you can plan your projects accurately. Whether you're a seasoned woodturner or just getting started, these blanks are high quality and ready to work with. The wood takes stain beautifully if you want color, or looks fantastic with just a clear finish to show off that natural grain. Much better quality than what you often find at big box stores. Each piece has enough character to make your projects look professional without being so wild that they're difficult to work with. Seriously good value for wood this quality.
