Oak wood turning blanks avalible in bowl blanks and spindle blanks.
Oak (Quercus petraea) is a classic and durable hardwood native to Europe. Its heartwood is a warm light to medium brown, sometimes with olive or golden tones, and the sapwood is paler and subtly defined. The grain is typically straight but may be irregular or wavy.
The texture is coarse and open, giving turned pieces a naturally rustic appeal. Its prominent grain and strong visual character make it a favorite for traditional and contemporary woodwork alike.
In woodturning, European Oak is moderately easy to work with. It turns cleanly with sharp tools and handles detail fairly well, though its open grain can result in some tear-out if cuts are aggressive. Pre-sanding grain filling may help achieve a smoother finish. It responds well to stains and finishes, especially oils and waxes that enhance its grain structure.

Great quality wood but rough sawn (larger than ordered measurements). I had expected it planed down to the exact size.

The 2″x2″ oak spindle blanks were not perfect, I had to discard about 10 cm from one of them. The remaining wood was good.

Arrived with dent in side, due to transit I assume as only bubble wrap used. Wood unfortunately had small grain cracks in the sides which appeared once I started turning, not visible when looking at the blank, as issue with Oak?

Fantastic quality bowl blank.
I turned a beautiful bowl, and scorched the fim with a blowtorch for added texture.
I need to work with oak more often…
