{"product_id":"knob-thorn-bowl-blanks","title":"Knob Thorn Bowl Blanks","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnob thorn is a dense African hardwood with warm reddish to golden brown tones, often showing subtle figuring and natural variation that adds depth and character to finished pieces. It has a fine to medium texture and a naturally rich appearance. It turns very well on the lathe with sharp tools — steady, controlled cuts are recommended due to its density, and it rewards careful work with a superb natural finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Knob Thorn (\u003cem\u003eAcacia nigrescens\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Southern Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Warm reddish to golden brown with subtle figuring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain: Fine to medium — controlled cuts recommended due to density\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking properties: Turns very well, sands to a fine finish, takes oils and waxes 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":"8x8x2","offer_id":58000504848729,"sku":null,"price":15.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/8874CD76-259F-4D66-9A85-14E0188B87A6.jpg?v=1779622955","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/knob-thorn-bowl-blanks","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
