African Blackwood Turning Square
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.
Please note that some of these pieces could have a small amount of white sap wood on edges.
We can sometimes accomodate a larger blank than our standard sizes. Please email us for availability and a quote.
Dimensions may vary +/- 1/8" 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.
Courtesy of The Wood Database:
Often completely black, with little or no discernible grain. Occasionally slightly lighter, with a dark brown or purplish hue. The pale yellow sapwood is usually very thin, and is clearly demarcated from the darker heartwood.

I haven't done much with them yet, but for the couple I've already done, they turned out phenomenally. I would (wood, lol) recommend these. The only complaint I have has nothing to do with the pieces provided, and everything to do with the properties of African Blackwood itself. I needed to use a hacksaw to cut it effectively, and a carbide endmill to carve channels. The wood behaves more like metal than wood when using woodworking tools, but more like wood than metal when using metalworking tools. Just a warning, so if you have the tools to work with it, have fun.
I’ve ordered Blackwood twice so far from kjb and have to say not disappointed good stuff!
Part of my purchased order, and let me begin by saying it is gorgeous wood, the best I've seen in the online wood market so far.
I found this small sander to be a very good finishing sander and have used it now for about a month. I was able to finish off a couple of projects that I had and was waiting to get a better sander to do finishing sanding as the sander I had was too robust and left a lot of sanding marks whereas the ETS 125 REQ was able to get rid of any marks and do a smooth surface so I could apply the stain and finish to my project. I really like the light weight of the sander and the way it gets rid of any blemishes in the wood I was working with on my project.
Thanks for the thorough review Charles! Good points discussed.
Beautiful wood. Carves like butter!
Fast delivery very pleased definitely recommend KJP!
very nice product to work with, very good quality. Bench saw and router cut are clean.
