{"product_id":"african-rosewood-bowl-blanks","title":"African Rosewood Bowl Blanks","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfrican rosewood is a richly coloured hardwood ranging from deep reddish-brown to darker chocolate tones, often with attractive streaking and natural variation that adds depth and character to turned pieces. Its fine to medium texture gives a smooth, refined appearance when finished. It turns very well on the lathe with sharp tools — oil and wax finishes enhance its natural warmth and colour contrast to beautiful effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: African Rosewood (\u003cem\u003eGuibourtia tessmannii\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: West \/ Central Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Deep reddish-brown to chocolate with attractive streaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain: Fine to medium, generally stable — controlled cuts recommended where grain varies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking properties: Turns very well, sands easily, takes oil and wax finishes beautifully\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplied\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut square for easy mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnds waxed to minimise moisture loss and reduce checking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes are approximate and shown in inches (diameter × thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Wood Room","offers":[{"title":"145x145x50","offer_id":58000549577049,"sku":null,"price":16.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x8x2","offer_id":58000549609817,"sku":null,"price":30.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/B12DA941-C869-4A4D-A3FF-AAA2986FB2D3.jpg?v=1779641757","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/african-rosewood-bowl-blanks","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
