Maple Bowl Blanks – 2″

Maple cuts clean and crisp on the lathe, so your gouge leaves a smooth wall instead of a torn one. The wood is hard and dense, which means it holds fine detail and lets you turn thin without a lot of chatter. New turners like it because it does not fight the tool.

These are maple bowl blanks cut 2 inches thick. That depth gives you room to hollow out a real bowl shape with a flat foot left at the base. Each blank is one solid piece of maple, ready to mount and rough out. The wood is pale and creamy in color with a tight, even grain that takes sanding and finish well.

• Wood is hard maple, dense and pale
• 2 inch thickness for shallow bowls and dishes
• Sold as one solid turning blank
• Good for bowls, plates, and small lidded boxes

Turn one into a salad bowl or a little catch-all dish for keys by the door, then finish it with oil to make the grain pop.
