We are currently sold out of this item.

Product Description

Suitable for inexperienced turners. Wood is typically white or light brown in color with occasional streaks of red. This species is fairly soft. Grain can be straight or wavy. Clean cuts require sharp tools. Sands to a medium lustre, finishes easily, and is stable when dried.
Special Note:
These pieces are not to be confused with our "Flame Box Elder" which has heavy red colors. These pieces are relatively clear, and have occasional red streaking, light curly figure, and/or mineral stain.

This wood dries very well and should not require special care.
