Maple Bowl Blank

Maple is a pale, fine-grained hardwood known for its smooth texture and clean, consistent appearance. It ranges from soft creamy white to light golden tones, with occasional subtle figuring that adds interest without overpowering the piece. It turns beautifully on the lathe, producing crisp details and a very smooth surface — ideal for both functional bowls and decorative pieces.
