Meranti Turning Blank
Meranti (Shorea spp.)
Colour can be highly variable depending upon the species: ranging from a pale straw colour, to a darker reddish brown,
Typically easy to work, due to its low density. Though some rough or ragged surfaces may be left while sanding, and it may be necessary to sand up to a finer grit to obtain a satisfactory finish. Some species may have a slight blunting effect on tools due to small levels of silica present in the wood. Glues, stains, and finishes well
Our turning blanks are carefully selected by our expert staff. Every blank is kiln-dried with hot wax applied to the end grain and edges to prevent reabsorption of moisture whilst in storage. 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.
