I have been detailing the contents and the results of my working through the Craft Supply USA Box of Blocks<\/a> offer. I finished 10 of the 11 blocks with one, a box elder, unable to withstand the pressures of the chuck, failed, which isn’t surprising for a wood that is just too soft for turning. But more on that later.<\/p>\n I have no idea what this blank is so if anything I tell you about it rings any bells, please let me know. The wood is a light reddish brown in color, it is fairly soft and the sapwood is quite white. It turned reasonably well and finished nicely, so although I don’t know what it is, it worked out well.<\/p>\nUnknown Blank:<\/h2>\n
