{"product_id":"african-walnut","title":"African Walnut Bowl Blank","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfrican walnut is a rich, medium to dark brown hardwood, often featuring subtle striping and attractive grain variation that adds depth and character to finished pieces. Despite the name, it is not a true walnut, but it shares a similar warm tone and visual appeal. It turns well on the lathe with sharp tools, producing clean cuts and fine shavings — oil and wax finishes bring out the natural contrast beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: African Walnut (\u003cem\u003eLovoa trichilioides\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: West Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Rich medium to dark brown with subtle striping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain: Variable, interlocked — light cuts recommended for best finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking properties: Turns well, takes oil and wax finishes particularly well\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":"6x6x2","offer_id":57989569249625,"sku":null,"price":5.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x8x2","offer_id":57989569282393,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/3A9F3A43-5B0A-4AD8-B97C-BC5860FFDABA.jpg?v=1779626583","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/african-walnut","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
