Once regarded by French Kings as the “crème de la crème” of furniture woods, Kingwood is now most highly prized for its turning characteristics. It has a characteristic dark violet brown tone with varied stripes of purple, and develops a warm patina as it ages. It is very hard and heavy, has a naturally bright luster, fine texture, and polishes to a glistening sheen. These turning blanks are available in an assortment of sizes for pens, carvings, bottle stoppers, game pieces, tool handles, table legs, spindles, finials, candlesticks and whatever else your imagination can conjure up!

Beautiful wood, but when I went to turn the blank it split in half and became unusable. Check your pieces for checking before use!

The kingwood turning blanks are consistanly of high quality with gorgous color and excelent grain.The only waste is the protective wax coating. I love this wood!

This is a great wood to turn. Unfortunately, many of the bowl blanks I got had cracks under the wax, which means that whoever cut them waxed over cracks/checks/small holes that were already there. Rockler was great about taking the defective ones back. Very good company.
