Domestic Bowl Blank Starter Pack

Domestic Bowl Blank Starter Pack

Save on our top 3 Domestic Bowl Blanks!

If you’re a woodturner who’s just getting started, or for anyone looking for some savings - this pack of our three most popular domestic species is for you! We will provide you with 3 high quality turning blanks in Maple (1), Cherry (1), and Black Walnut (1) in the dimensions of your choice. Our 2" blanks have already been kiln dried and are ready to be "turned" into your next great project! Our 3" blanks are sealed with wax as they are still drying. Once the wax is removed, please use caution in order to maximize the quality of the bowl blank as possible cracking may occur. We think your ideas are super - and we want to provide you with the ability to see them through!

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.

Colour and Workability

Courtesy of The Wood Database:

Cherry : Heartwood is a light pinkish brown when freshly cut, darkening to a medium reddish brown with time and upon exposure to light. Sapwood is a pale yellowish color. Cherry is known as being one of the best all-around woods for workability. It is stable, straight-grained, and machines well. The only difficulties typically arise if the wood is being stained, as it can sometimes give blotchy results—using a sanding sealer prior to staining, or using a gel-based stain is recommended.

Maple : Fairly easy to work with both hand and machine tools, though slightly more difficult than soft maple due to hard maple’s higher density. Maple has a tendency to burn when being machined with high-speed cutters such as in a router. Turns, glues, and finishes well, though blotches can occur when staining, and a pre-conditioner, gel stain, or toner may be necessary to get an even color.

Walnut : Typically easy to work provided the grain is straight and regular. Planer tearout can sometimes be a problem when surfacing pieces with irregular or figured grain. Glues, stains, and finishes well, (though walnut is rarely stained). Responds well to steam bending.

Bowl Blanks

Many of the bowl blanks were great. However, several had cracks and checking. On screwing my faceplate onto the Walnut blank, the entire piece split in two.

Overall great products, but a bit more attention needs to be paid to quality control.

I like your stuff but I gess the way you marked the sizes is not Right . 2+6+6 is not
proper it should be 2in thickness by 6in diamiter or 2in +6in radius which would
be 2in +12in diamiter .
