We will provide you with a high quality turning blank in the dimensions of your choice. This blank has already been kiln dried and is ready to be "turned" into your next great project! We recommend using Honey Bee's Natural Wood Cream for a long lasting and food safe finish.
We can sometimes accommodate a larger blank than our standard sizes. Please email us for availability and a quote.
Dimensions may vary +/- 1/4" as we often prefer to lightly skip dress the turning blanks to reveal grain & colour. Some blanks may also come with waxed faces and ends.

The heartwood is a light to medium brown color. Sapwood can be very wide, and tends to be a beige or light brown; not always clearly or sharply demarcated from heartwood. Produces good results with hand or machine tools. Responds well to steam bending. Glues, stains, and finishes well.
Good looking wood for turning. Quick delivery. Thanks.
Not having dealt with KJP Select Hardwoods before I gave them a call for some specifics about the wood and my intended use of it. The gentleman who answered was most polite and told me that it was not exactly 2 x 2" which I needed to know. The wood sent had great straight grain and has turned out to be a good looking handle. Only time will tell as to how durable it is. I look forward to seeing the store itself for my future needs.
a very nice piece of wood . Cuts nice with slight tear outs. sands well and finishes very nice. will buy again.
straight and true. First time using Iroko. Outdoor mostly sheltered area.Not Teak but still quite pricey. KJP is a great company to deal with, like a candy store for wood
Not impressed with the shipment I received, the 12x12 was not 12x12, off an 1/8 to a 3/16 on both sides and the peices were very warped and not flat
