Red Sandana – Dressed – 40 × 40mm – choose length

Red sandana dressed square stock. A dark, tight-grained, medium density hardwood that turns easily and polishes to a deep shine. Old stock, and once it’s gone we won’t see it again.

Red Sandana Dressed Timber

Red sandana is old stock, and this is the last of it. Once it sells, we won’t see it again. It is dressed all round and square, so it goes straight from the box to the lathe or the bench without a pass through the thicknesser.

Why Red Sandana Suits the Lathe

The colour is what catches your eye first: a deep, dark tone that carries right through the piece. The grain is tight and even, so fine detail holds its edge and beads and coves come off the tool crisp. It is easy to turn and gives you no grief. At a medium density it has enough weight to feel good in the hand and cuts comfortably all day.

Working Properties

• Density: Medium. Firm enough to hold detail, easy enough to cut all day.
• Grain: Tight and even. Clean cuts with sharp tools.
• Turning: Easy going on the lathe, with a smooth surface straight off the gouge.
• Finishing: Polishes up beautifully. We recommend Rustins Danish oil, EEE-Ultra Shine or Shellawax to bring up the depth of the colour.

Best Projects for Red Sandana
