Tanga Tanga Bowl Blanks

Tanga Tanga is a distinctive hardwood, typically golden yellow to light brown in colour with darker streaks and subtle figuring that give each piece a unique, eye-catching appearance. Its natural contrast and variation make it a great choice for decorative turning. It turns well on the lathe with sharp tools — lighter, controlled cuts help achieve the best finish, and oils and waxes bring out the colour contrast and natural character beautifully.
