Product Description
Wait no longer to turn your project. Blanks have been kiln dried and can be turned immediately; no more worries about moisture.Black Palm (Borassus flabellifer) has a brown background streaked with elongated dark brown and black vascular bundles. It has a medium-to-fine texture with straight grain. The end grain exhibits an attractive spotted appearance, and the elongated bundles terminate in an engaging “eye” that glows when polished, revealing spectacular results. This wood is hard and heavy, and the bundles can be quite stringy, so extremely sharp tools are required. Typical uses include walking sticks, knife and tool handles, furniture and turned objects.Features:Distinctive streaks embedded in the wood add visual flair to pens, knife handles and other turningsDespite being somewhat difficult to work with, it makes for phenomenal-looking finished productsTends to absorb larger quantities of finish, so care must be taken during finishing; a sanding sealer is recommendedNative to Southeast AsiaSpecifications:Thickness: 1-1/2″Width: 1-1/2″Length: 18″
