Premium Jelutong Wood Blanks | Trend Timbers

Elevate your craftsmanship with Jelutong (Dyera costulata) wood blanks from Trend Timbers—Australia’s premier choice for fine turning and carving timber.

Why Choose Jelutong for Turning & Carving?

Firstly, Jelutong’s ultra-fine, uniform grain delivers buttery-smooth cuts on the lathe and razor-sharp edges in carving. Moreover, its low density makes it incredibly gentle on tools, reducing wear and tear whether you’re shaping bowls or chiseling relief designs. In addition, this timber holds fine details exceptionally well, so intricate beads, coves, and sculpted forms come out crisp and clean. Consequently, your projects benefit from both effortless turning and precise carving. Furthermore, Jelutong sands to a silky finish and accepts paint, stain, or oil evenly, making it ideal for both natural and decorative looks. Finally, its consistent pale cream colour creates a neutral canvas that highlights carved textures and accent inlays beautifully.

Key Applications

• Turned items: spindles, pens, small bowls, and decorative finials with glass-smooth surfaces.

• Wood carving: relief panels, ornamental accents, figurines, and intricate scrollwork with sharp detail.

• Model making & prototypes: lightweight, stable blanks for architectural and mechanical models.

• Mixed-media projects: combine Jelutong carvings with contrasting woods or resins for striking effects.
