Spalted Beech Turning Blank Twin Pack

European Spalted Beech (Fagus sylvatica) 

Twin Pack contains 2 qty 95x230x230mm blanks

Pale straw colour, sometimes with a pink or brown hue. Veneer tends to be slightly darker coloured, as slicing the veneer usually requires the wood to be prepared with steam, which gives the wood a more golden tone. flatsawn surfaces tend to be somewhat plain, while quartersawn surfaces exhibit a minute ray fleck pattern.

Overall good workability; it machines well, and glues, finishes, and turns well. Beech also responds superbly to steam-bending. However, it does have a large amount of movement in service, so movement and wood stability must be taken into account.

Note: Images are indicative of stock held but variations in appearance and grain will be frequent
