Red Oak Turning Blank Squares – 1.5″ x 1.5″

Chuck one of these on the lathe and turn a set of matching cabinet knobs or a chunky pen in an afternoon. These Red Oak turning blank squares measure 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches, so they give you just enough wood for small spindle work without a lot of waste. Red Oak is a strong, dense hardwood that holds an edge well and stays put once it is dry.

The size makes these blanks a good fit for pens, bottle stoppers, small handles, drawer pulls, and short spindles. Red Oak has a bold, open grain with long streaks that show up clear once you start cutting. The color sits in the light tan to pinkish brown range, and it takes stain and dye nicely if you want to push it darker.

• Size is 1.5 inch by 1.5 inch square turning blank
• Wood is solid kiln-dried Red Oak hardwood
• Good for pens, knobs, stoppers, and short spindles

Sand it smooth and add oil, and the grain lines come alive with a warm, woody glow you can feel under your fingers.
