Pale creamy-white to light yellowish-brown with a fine, even grain, it has a clean, smooth quality that turns and finishes exceptionally well — producing a crisp, refined surface that takes detail beautifully and accepts oils and lacquers with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMilk Pear is not a timber you'll encounter every day, which makes it a genuinely interesting and somewhat rare addition to any turning collection. Its pale, clean tones make it a versatile choice — equally suited to natural finishes that let the wood speak for itself, or as a canvas for dyes and stains where the light base colour allows colours to sing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWood Characteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milk Pear \/ White Milkwood (\u003cem\u003eSideroxylon inerme\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Southern Africa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale creamy-white to light yellowish-brown — clean and even throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very fine and even — generally straight, turning and finishing to a crisp, smooth surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately hard — good durability with a pleasant, balanced weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Turns to a beautifully smooth surface; takes oils, lacquers, and dyes exceptionally well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorkability:\u003c\/strong\u003e A pleasure to turn — responds well to sharp tools and rewards careful sanding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSupplied\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied dried and ready to turn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes are approximate and shown in inches (length × width × thickness)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNatural wood — colour and grain will vary between blanks.
