River Birch – Premium Domestic Hardwood Turning Blank
River Birch (Betula nigra) is a distinctive North American hardwood prized for its warm honey-to-reddish tones, subtle figuring, and smooth turning characteristics. Known for its natural elegance and dependable performance, River Birch brings a refined, organic look to a wide range of woodworking and turning projects.
This premium River Birch turning blank features a fine, even texture with straight to gently wavy grain that turns cleanly on the lathe and holds crisp detail. It sands smoothly and finishes beautifully, developing a soft glow that enhances its natural color and understated figure. Occasional flame or curl may appear, adding visual interest without overwhelming the design.
River Birch is an excellent choice for pens, bowls, bottle stoppers, tool handles, small boxes, ornaments, and decorative turnings. Its moderate density provides a satisfying turning experience without excessive tool wear, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced woodturners.
Add natural warmth and reliable workability to your next project with hand-selected River Birch wood blanks, chosen for consistency, grain quality, and smooth turning performance.
