"Great product at a competitive price."

Workability

Overall a fairly easy wood to work, though Ovangkol contains silica and can therefore dull cutters prematurely. Also, if the grain is interlocked, or if there is other figure present in the wood, planing and other machining operations may be troublesome and cause tearout. Turns, glues and finishes well.

Timber Sizing Guidelines

Please note the sizes displayed are approx. We cut all our blanks onsite & we work to a -/+ 1mm tolerance when cutting our Timber Blanks. If you are requiring a specific size, we would advise buying a size above so you can accurately cut back as desired.
