{"product_id":"african-blackwood-bowl-blanks","title":"African Blackwood Bowl Blanks","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfrican Blackwood is one of the world's most prized and distinctive timbers — a deep, rich wood ranging from dark purple-brown to near-black, with a fine, tight grain and a naturally lustrous surface. It is exceptionally dense and hard, producing a stunning finish straight off the tool with sharp chisels or gouges. Highly sought after by woodturners for its dramatic appearance and ability to hold fine detail, it makes outstanding decorative bowls and display pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecies: African Blackwood (\u003cem\u003eDalbergia melanoxylon\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: East \/ Southern Africa\u003cbr\u003eColour: Deep purple-brown to near-black, often with dark streaks\u003cbr\u003eGrain: Fine and tight — holds exceptional detail and takes a superb natural finish\u003cbr\u003eWorking properties: Very dense and hard — use sharp tools and take light cuts; rewards patience with a spectacular result\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplied\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCut square for easy mounting\u003cbr\u003eEnds waxed to minimise moisture loss and reduce checking\u003cbr\u003eSizes are approximate and shown in inches (side × side × thickness)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wood Room","offers":[{"title":"4x4x2","offer_id":58130709741913,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x5x2","offer_id":58130709774681,"sku":null,"price":31.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x5x3","offer_id":58130709807449,"sku":null,"price":44.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"6x6x2","offer_id":58130714034521,"sku":null,"price":45.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/E02B6BBD-13FF-4CFC-B81D-E5C722BC88B4.jpg?v=1779628081","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/african-blackwood-bowl-blanks","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
