Stabilized Walnut ring blanks – 1.5" × 1.5" × 0.5" / 40 mm × 40 mm × 13 mm – product of Canada
Add timeless elegance to your next ring project with these walnut ring blanks. Sized specifically for crafting a single ring, these blanks highlight everything makers love about walnut: rich chocolate-brown heartwood, creamy sapwood contrast, and a smooth, predictable cutting action on the lathe.
Walnut is a long-time favourite for ring making thanks to its warm colour palette and cooperative nature, making it an excellent choice for both clean, minimalist designs and more expressive profiles.
What are the dimensions of these ring blanks?
Each ring blank measures approximately 1.5" × 1.5" × 0.5" (about 40 mm × 40 mm × 13 mm). This size is ideal for turning a single ring with enough material for shaping and final fitting. Each blank shown has been sanded to highlight the grain and is representative only. Your blanks will be selected at random, and natural variations in colour and grain are normal.
What is the best way to finish this blank?
For best results, apply a thin CA glue finish, then sand progressively using Abranet followed by Micro-Mesh. Complete the process with a plastic polish to achieve a smooth, durable, high-gloss finish.
What is stabilization?
Stabilization impregnates softer wood with resin under pressure, transforming a weak or porous blank into a durable, stable, and highly workable material suitable for fine turning and jewelry projects.
