Acacia – K/D (European) Woodturning Blanks

Yellowy/green in colour. Dense wood and highly durable.
The robinia belongs to the heartwood trees, i.e. sapwood and heartwood have different colourings. The very narrow sapwood is yellowish-white to light yellow or green-yellow in colour. The heartwood is yellowish-green to greenish-brown or light brown. When steam-treated the wood takes on a brown colouring. The annual growth rings are clearly visible due to the large pores in the springwood. As with the oak, ash and elm sawn wood has a striped or wavy grain patterning. The pores are less visible in the wood as they close as the tree grows older. Planed surfaces have a discernable shine.
