A few fine dark lines wander through the color here and there. The effect can give the finished piece a warm, watercolor-like look. Please look through the photos to see how the color moves across each face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 3\" thick and 7.5\" square, this block is well suited to a bowl, a platter, a lidded box, or a small hollow form. It would also work for a square-rimmed piece if you want to keep the corners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are a few small voids in this block -- see the close-up photos. Where visible, they're about 1\/4\" across, but they may open up larger inside as you turn. You can fill them with CA glue or tinted epoxy, or leave them open as a natural feature. There are also some drying cracks at one end -- despite careful sealing, these sometimes appear. You will want to secure these well with thin CA glue if they extend into your your turned piece. See close-up photo of these cracks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis block was sealed while drying to control checking and is fully air-dried to under 10% moisture content. It is ready to turn to final thickness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackie Scherer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68320086196375,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0500\/5216\/9879\/files\/IMG_4132_3.jpg?v=1794427959","url":"https:\/\/thewoodfairy.com\/products\/maple-block-js410-3-x-7-5-x-7-5","provider":"The Wood Fairy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
