Get three of the most striking exotic turning woods in one box. This combo pack from California Exotic Hardwoods includes one Purpleheart, one Spalted Tamarind and one Granadillo bowl blank, each cut to 6" x 6" x 2" and ready to mount on the lathe. It is a great way to try different species, build a matching set of bowls, or stock up on premium blanks at a better price than buying them one at a time.
What's in the Pack

- 1 x Spalted Tamarind: Dark reddish-brown wood with black spalting lines that look like hand-drawn ink on every blank.
- 1 x Granadillo: A dense tropical hardwood in rich reddish-brown to dark tones, with a smooth finish and a natural luster.
Specifications
- Blank Size: 6" x 6" x 2" (each)
- Quantity: 3 blanks (one of each species)
- Species: Purpleheart, Spalted Tamarind, Granadillo
- Drying: Kiln dried
Turning and Finishing
- All three woods are dense and hard, so keep your tools sharp and take light cuts for the cleanest surface.
- Purpleheart is vivid right after turning and slowly darkens toward brown in sunlight. A UV-resistant finish helps keep the purple longer.
- Spalted wood can be softer in the spalted areas, so sand carefully and consider a stabilizing or hard-wearing finish.
- Granadillo and Purpleheart take oils, waxes and clear coats very well and polish to a high shine.
- Always wear a dust mask when turning and sanding dense tropical hardwoods, since the fine dust can irritate.
Good to Know
- Every piece is natural, so color, grain and spalting vary from blank to blank.
- Wood can still expand or shrink slightly as humidity changes.
- Please measure each blank before you start your project. Dimensions are approximate and may vary by about 1/8".
- Photos are representative. You will receive similar blanks.
