Spalted Hackberry Turning Square (6" x 1-1/2" x 1-1/2")

Hackberry, Celtis occidentalis, is a unique hardwood that has closed grain and shows fine, intricate patterns upon close examination. Some Hackberry wood produces striking black/grey color that looks similar to spalting. It is not truly spalted as the name implies, but looks very similar to spalting in other species, so this term is the most easily understood for describing the darker contrast that runs through the wood. This blank is air drying and contains residual moisture. It has been wax sealed either on the ends or completely wax sealed. There may be minor surface or end checks. This high quality wood is brimming with possibilities for your woodworking projects! Size may vary +/- 1/8".
