This is some of the most beautiful Ambrosia Maple we've ever offered at a price that can't be beaten! Don't miss out on this opportunity because once they're gone, they're gone.
One of our favorite woods for turning, Ambrosia Maple offers colorful striping and overall great figure. It’s easy to cut and leaves a smooth surface with sharp tools. Sanding and finishing are quick and easy, albeit you may need to fill a wormhole or two as you go.
The Ambrosia beetle causes the coloring found in these blanks. As the beetle burrows into the tree, it creates "worm-holes" and varying discoloration in the form of streaks. Turning blanks are sold partly seasoned with no guarantee of moisture content.
All blanks are unseasoned and should be rough-turned, sealed, and allowed to dry before final shaping and finishing. We recommend turning the bowl to a 1" wall thickness throughout and sealing it with Tree Saver™ Green Wood Sealer, then allowing the bowl to fully dry before final turning.
