Description: Welcome to Turners' Circle where the wood you see is always the wood you receive. This listing is for a Genuine Lignum Vitae 4-15/16" x 4-15/16" x 2" block blank. This species, Guaiacum officinale, has a Janka hardness of around 4400 which is vey dense. Colors under the wax/patina will vary and likely be much lighter in color than the outside of the blank. This blank was cut and waxed in the 1990s. The blank contains sapwood areas. Cracks or shakes may exist under the wax. There are no obvious defects. PLEASE NOTE that this is a wax sealed blank sold with no guarantee of moisture content. It could be partially dry to dry. Extremely dense woods such as this may contain checks under the wax which are typically shallow but it's always best to have CA glue on hand to stop small checks from become large checks while pieces are drying. (I always inspect for obvious defects and will note those in the listing above). There are many sources online for "twice turned" procedures and it's important to dry dense woods very slowly while intermittently inspecting for cracks. I personally put blanks into thick paper bags and roll them up while occasionally recording weights with a gram scale until the blanks stop losing weight. Another method some choose is to fully turn and seal the blank in one session. *SHIPPING* Maximum combined shipping is just $10 if all items are under 12-7/8" in length. Maximum combined shipping is $15 for orders with blanks longer than 12-7/8” , any size bowl blanks, or boards over 12-7/8” in length. Please add all items to your cart before paying and choose the corresponding promotional shipping rate at checkout. Orders will ship via USPS or Fed Ex. I ship out orders by the second business day of the order. The delivery dates provided by Ebay and the package carriers are estimates and not guarantees. The first photo(s) of a listing will show the wood wet with a dash of mineral spirits or water to give you an idea of what the finished craft can resemble. The next photos show all sides of the piece dry in the state you will receive it. Dimensions can vary by small increments from natural wood movement that is typically no more than 1/16” but up to 1/8” for spindle blanks. Please let me know if you have any questions!
