Product Details
Premium New Zealand Kauri Wood Blanks | Trend Timbers
Transform your woodturning with New Zealand Kauri (Agathis australis) blanks from Trend Timbers—Australia’s specialist supplier of fine timber for artisans and craftsmen.
Why Choose New Zealand Kauri for Turning?
Firstly, Kauri offers a warm honey-gold hue that deepens to amber over time. Moreover, its straight, even grain and fine texture ensure effortless cuts and minimal tear-out. In addition, this timber’s low to medium density provides the perfect balance of strength and ease of work, so you can shape bowls and hollow forms smoothly. Furthermore, Kauri turns with exceptional stability, reducing vibration and tool chatter even at high lathe speeds. Finally, it polishes to a soft satin finish, highlighting subtle growth rings and gentle figure that make each piece unique.
