Persimmon Turning Blank

Diospyros virginiana

Nicknamed ‘White Ebony’ because of the many characteristics it shares with Asian ebony our American Persimmon turning blanks are straight-grained with medium texture and are very stable when seasoned. Widely known for its ability to cut clean and maintain a smooth, polished finish, Persimmon is also ideal for applications where staining or dyeing is necessary or desired. Although these blanks are mostly sapwood, color ranges from cream to gray to black and may include streaks. Blanks are sold unseasoned.
