{"product_id":"masasa-bowl-blank","title":"Masasa Bowl Blank","description":"\u003cp\u003eMasasa is a beautiful Southern African hardwood with warm reddish-brown to medium brown tones and an attractive, even grain that gives finished pieces a natural elegance. A lesser-known timber that deserves far more attention from woodturners, it works with a pleasing consistency on the lathe and rewards careful turning with a smooth, rich finish. Each blank carries its own subtle character — a genuinely lovely wood to discover and work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies: Masasa (\u003cem\u003eBrachystegia spiciformis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Southern \/ East Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Warm reddish-brown to medium brown with subtle natural variation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain: Even, generally straight to slightly interlocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking properties: Turns well with sharp tools, sands nicely, takes oil and wax finishes 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 (length × width × thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Wood Room","offers":[{"title":"6x2","offer_id":58001968529753,"sku":null,"price":8.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1044\/1110\/3577\/files\/039AE8FA-B511-463F-BFD8-8D7095075AC4.jpg?v=1779641056","url":"https:\/\/woodroom.co.uk\/products\/masasa-bowl-blank","provider":"The Wood Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
