Tamarind Bottle Stopper Blank

Tamarind is a lesser-known gem of the turning world — a dense, hard timber with a rich golden-brown to dark reddish-brown colour and a fine, interlocked grain that rewards careful turning with a beautifully smooth, lustrous finish. Each blank carries its own character, with subtle variation in tone and figure that makes every finished stopper unique.

Pre-cut to bottle stopper blank size and ready for the lathe — simply mount, turn, and finish.
