African Blackwood Turning Blanks
African Blackwood (Dalbergia melanoxylon)
Extraordinarily hard and heavy, African Blackwood is often black, with little grain. Occasionally the timber can be slightly lighter, with a dark brown or purplish hue. Popular for musical instruments, carving and inlay.
Our turning blanks are carefully selected by our expert staff. The quality control inspection ensures our blanks are split and shake free. Every blank has hot wax applied to the end grain and edges to prevent end splitting through the drying process. This ensures your finished object will be stable when brought into a centrally heated environment. With a range of shapes and sizes, we are sure you will find something to stimulate your creativity and inspire your next project.
