Red Oak Spindle RO569
2.1" x 2.2" x 8.5"
0.9 lbs.
Red oak turning spindle. This is an end-grain block with the grain running generally parallel to the long axis of the piece, making it a strong and stable choice for turning. The grain is naturally figured, showing attractive variations where the growth rings shift with the rhythms of the tree’s growth and changing moisture conditions.
Each block features a single natural bark-and-wane edge, as shown in the photos. The bark is minimal and positioned so that it will turn away completely during the shaping process. These blanks are rough-cut and unfinished, giving turners and carvers the freedom to shape and refine the piece to their own vision.
Air-dried slowly and evenly, the blocks have reached a moisture content below 10%, helping minimize the risk of cracking or movement once work begins.
Multiple blocks of this size and character are available. Each is sold individually.
