Turning & Carving Blanks

Turning & Carving Blanks currently available
Blanks are partially sanded to allow a glimpse of the Blue Mahoe colors, behind the rough sawn sides. All ends are anchorsealed and plastic wrapped. All blank sizes are in inches, all are slightly larger than the given size, and include some live edge and sap wood. These pieces have air-dried for over 14 months. We suggest that you leave them wrapped in plastic initially to acclimatize in your region and then monitor the drying. More about Blue Mahoe
