Persimmon Wood – Premium Turning 

Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is a highly prized North American hardwood and a close relative of true ebony. Known for its smooth, tight grain and exceptional density, Persimmon delivers outstanding strength, crisp detail, and a refined, elegant appearance that elevates any handcrafted project.

This premium Persimmon turning blank showcases creamy white to pale golden heartwood with subtle natural streaking, creating a clean, classic look that pairs beautifully with high-gloss or oil finishes. Its fine, uniform grain machines exceptionally well, allowing turners to achieve sharp edges, precise details, and a polished, glass-like surface.

Historically used for golf club heads, textile shuttles, and high-wear tools, Persimmon’s impressive durability, shock resistance, and stability make it perfect for pens, knife handles, tool handles, game calls, bottle stoppers, small bowls, and fine woodworking. It offers the workability of domestic species with the strength and density typically found in exotics.

Add a rare and prestigious American hardwood to your lineup with these hand-selected Persimmon blanks, chosen for clarity, grain quality, and premium turning performance.
