Knob Thorn – Turning / Craft Blank
Description:
Knob Thorn is a dense and characterful African hardwood, valued for its strength, durability, and warm natural colouring. Typically featuring rich golden-brown to deep brown tones with a fine, even texture, it is well suited to precision turning and fine craft work. Its hardness and stability make it a reliable choice for small decorative and functional items.
Features:
- Species: Knob Thorn (Vachellia / Acacia nigrescens)
- Appearance: Warm golden-brown to dark brown with subtle natural grain variation
- Texture: Fine and uniform with a smooth finish when worked
- Workability: Very hard and dense; turns cleanly with sharp tools and polishes to a high-quality finish
Applications:
Ideal for woodturning, knife handles, tool handles, small decorative objects, jewellery components, and other fine craft projects requiring strength and detail.
Note:
As a natural timber, variations in colour and grain are to be expected. Small natural features, inclusions, or minor cracks may be present and are part of the wood’s character. Photographs are representative of typical appearance.
