Exotic Turning Square Starter Pack
For turners who are just getting started and want to try three of our more popular Exotic species, or for anyone looking for some savings - this pack is for you. We will provide you with 3 x high quality turning squares/spindles in Mahogany (1), Paduak (1), and Purpleheart (1) in the dimensions of your choice. Our 2" blanks have already been kiln dried and are ready to be "turned" into your next great project!
We can sometimes accomodate a larger blank than our standard sizes. Please email us for availability and a quote.
Dimensions may vary +/- 1/4" as we often prefer to lightly skip dress the turning blanks to reveal grain & colour. Some blanks may also come with waxed faces and ends.
Courtesy of The Wood Database:
Mahogany : Easy to work, glue, and finish. Tearout can sometimes be a problem if the grain is interlocked.
Padauk : Overall Padauk is easy to work; tearout may also occur during planing on quartersawn or interlocked grain. Padauk turns, glues, and finishes well.
Purpleheart : Working with Purpleheart can present some unique challenges: if the wood is heated with dull tools, or if cutter speeds are too high, Purpleheart will exude a gummy resin that can clog tools and complicate the machining process. Depending on the grain orientation, can be difficult to plane without tearout. Purpleheart also has a moderate dulling effect on cutters.
Nice blocks, Perfect for longbow riser! Will order some more!

I was very happy with the speed of the order. My order was delivered to my home within 4 days which in my mind was excellent. The wood came packaged neetly and in excellent condition. I love the ebony because it is very dark and is great for special projects that require an almost black color for definition. I use it for my layering project with my laser machine. Thank you to all at KJP for the speedy order process and once again for making sure that my order was complete and of excellent quality.
