  Birdseye Maple Wood Turning Stock

  Item #159457

  More Info

  Birdseye maple (Acer saccharum) is so named because the figure resembles small bird's eyes. Birdseye figure is a phenomenon that occurs within several kinds of wood, most notably in hard maple. The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The sugar maple attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward a number of tiny knots remain. Birdseye maple is frequently sold in veneer form, but solid lumber is available as well. Being tiny knots, the bird's eye figure is most noticeable and pronounced on flatsawn pieces of lumber. When working with birdseye wood, it is advisable to use sharp tools so as to prevent grain tear-out. It turns well on a lathe, allowing it to be shaped into decorative canes, bottle stoppers and pens. It is used in refined specialty products, such as in automobile trim, both in solid form and veneer, boxes and bowls for jewelry, thin veneer, humidors, furniture inlays, handles, guitars, and pool cues.

  Mango Wood Turning Stock

  Item #171870

  More Info

  Mango (Mangifera indica) is commonly known as Hawaiian Mango because of spalting, which is often present, and it can contain a myriad of colors. Normally heartwood is golden brown, while yellow, streaks of pink and black can also occur. Paler sapwood is not always clearly defined. Curly or mottled grain patterns are commonly found as well. Grain can be straight or interlocked with a medium to coarse texture and a good natural luster. Tear-out is common when machining interlocked or wild grain. Mango has a fairly high silica content that readily dulls cutting edges. Common uses for Mango include furniture, ukuleles, veneer, plywood, turned objects, and flooring.
  

  Features:
  

  • Known much more widely for its fruit, Mango trees also yield beautiful and valuable lumber

  • Eco-friendly, as many Mango plantations harvest the trees for lumber after they have completed their useful fruit-bearing lifespan
