Offered in a wide variety of wood species, these wooden blanks not only give carvers and turners an array of colors, textures and working properties to choose from, but they’re also good to have on hand for making your own inlays, plugs, splines or other decorative accents. They’re available in various sizes, so you can choose materials with the dimensions that are most convenient for the project at hand.

Since some types of wood are more challenging to work than others, our descriptions include the physical characteristics of the species, so woodworkers of all skill levels know what to expect. As with all woods, sharp tools, light and deliberate cuts, attention to grain direction and careful finishing are needed, but with patience, precision and practice, these woods can yield exceptional results.
