Blocks and blanks up to 6" long are the basis for most project turning kits.
1-1/2" square blanks: A versatile size for larger handle-style projects. Ideal for coffee scoops, vegetable peelers, rasps, bottle stoppers, bottle openers and other kitchen or shop accessories where you want comfortable shaping room without excess bulk.
2" square blanks: Great for smaller salt and pepper mill grinders, salt and pepper shakers and and mid-sized projects that need more substance. This size gives you added strength and more shaping freedom while still being manageable on the lathe.
3"+ square blanks: Built for short salt and pepper grinders and mills of all kinds — especially when you want a bold profile, thicker walls, or a more substantial finished piece. The extra mass gives you design flexibility and visual impact.
