Walnut spindle blank - 3" square, product of Canada

Walnut is a milk chocolate brown wood that comes from the Eastern Canada and United States. It can sometimes be a light pale colour and develop a subtle purple hue. It has a medium texture with a moderately straight grain. It is massively popular amongst woodworkers and incredibly cooperative for turning and finishing.

What are the dimensions of this block?

Each blank measures approximately 3" square × 12" long (76.2 mm × 76.2 mm × 304.8 mm). Please note dimensions may vary ± 1/8" (± 3.2 mm). The picture is a typical representation. Your blanks will be selected at random and may differ slightly from the image. The wood is skip planed, meaning only the high points have been lightly planed, leaving a natural, textured surface that’s ideal for turning. 

What kind of projects can I make with this spindle blank?

Ideal for larger spindle projects like pepper mills or candlestick holders.

Fun facts about Walnut:

  • Walnut was historically prized by early North American furniture makers for its beauty and workability, and it even served as a material for the first wooden baseball bats.
  • Walnut trees are natural weed fighters. Black walnut trees produce a chemical called juglone that suppresses the growth of many nearby plants. It’s nature’s version of “don’t crowd me,” and one reason walnut trees often stand alone.
