Maple Spindle Blank 600mm x 2” X 2”

Maple (Acer Sacchafum North America) Kiln Dried 600mm x 2″ x 2″ Spindle Blank.

The heartwood is creamy white when freshly cut but ages to a light tan.

The grain is usually straight but can be wavy or curly, and has a smooth, fine texture.

The wood has a high natural lustre, especially on quartered surfaces.

Please note: the sizes displayed are approximate only.
Due to timber coming from all over the world starting thicknesses vary up to 1/4“ depending on the origin. We use the umbrella guides of 1”,1.5”, 2”, 3” & 4”, but please be aware that all spindles are planed on one face to highlight the grain and to allow us to see faults which can result in under thickness.
This can result in spindles being under the thickness depending on the starting thickness. For example: Native Ash is often 2” x 2” after drying and before being planed. This can plane down to 1.75” and result in 1.75” x 2” spindles.
