Maple Lumber Square Turning Blank – 2.5″ x 2.5″

Run a sharp tool across this blank and the maple winds up smooth and almost glassy, with a soft creamy white color that takes a clear finish without much fuss. The grain is tight and even, so you do not fight tear-out the way you might with open-pore woods. It is a clean canvas for whatever you put on the lathe.

This is one solid square turning blank cut to 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. That width gives you room for pen sets, tool handles, small boxes, bottle stoppers, and short spindle work. Maple is hard and dense, so it holds fine detail and keeps a crisp edge on beads and coves. The wood is kiln dried, so it turns true and stays put after you shape it.

• Size 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches square
• One solid turning blank per order
• Hard maple, kiln dried and ready to turn
• Good for pens, handles, stoppers, and small spindle work

Pair this pale maple with a darker wood like walnut for a bold two-tone piece, or stack it with lighter woods for a soft, quiet look.
