Turners Choice Ambrosia Maple Turning Blanks
Details
- (Acer rubrum) Coloring is caused by the Ambrosia beetle. It burrows into the tree, thus creating the "worm-holes" and discoloration.
- Turning blanks are sold partly seasoned with no guarantee of moisture content.
- Due to difficulty in maintaining a regular supply, wood will not be back ordered if out of stock.

Highly figured with nice character

Comments On Feb 16, 2019:I just received a 4x6x6 and it looks really good. I am waiting on a moisture meter so that I can check it until I get 25% or so. It is heavy now so I need to check the weight. That reminds me, get out the old digital scale. I have purchased Ambrosia blanks from other vendors and they were marginal at best, not much more than black narrow stains and not many of them. I checked back for more and found none listed. I will keep checking though. Good purchase and great price.

Great contrast and coloring

Comments On Aug 22, 2016:Used this to turn my ex a couple of flower vases. They turned easily and finished like glass. The only problem was filling the wormholes but with some CA glue and sawdust you can barely notice the patches.

Comments On Feb 05, 2016:Nice turning stock. It was quite (wet) green so know this before you buy it.

Ambrosia Maple

Comments On Jul 28, 2014:This is a gorgeous wood, turns great, and sands very well. The only drawback is that it is wet. I had to put cut pieces in the microwave to dry out, then all was great.
