{"product_id":"alder-bowl-blank","title":"Alder Bowl Blank","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlder is a light, fine-grained European hardwood with a pale pinkish-brown colour and a clean, understated appearance that makes it a versatile and popular choice for woodturners. Soft enough to work with ease yet firm enough to hold crisp detail, it turns beautifully on the lathe with minimal effort. Its even texture and consistent behaviour make it an excellent timber for both beginners finding their feet and experienced turners looking for a reliable, rewarding wood to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Common Alder (\u003cem\u003eAlnus glutinosa\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Pale pinkish-brown, lightening to a warm honey tone with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain: Fine, even and straight — very easy to work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking properties: Turns beautifully, sands quickly to a smooth finish, takes oils and waxes well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplied\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut round for easy mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdges 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":"100x40","offer_id":58001974395225,"sku":null,"price":2.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"125x40","offer_id":58001974427993,"sku":null,"price":3.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"150x40","offer_id":58001974460761,"sku":null,"price":4.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200x40","offer_id":58135746707801,"sku":null,"price":7.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/IMG-4042.heic?v=1779719619","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/alder-bowl-blank","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
