This Guatemalan variety of Mora wood is heavy, dense and ranges from pale brown to pale yellow in color. The sapwood from which these bowl blanks are taken yields a very smooth surface when turned and readily accepts wood treatment products.

mora turning stock
This was the most beautiful wood I have ever turned, and I like experimenting with everything -- zebrawood, persian silk tree, avocado, orange tree, willow, root of a camellia plant, root of rosebush.... Dark, full of character, hard and solid, it turned and polished like a dream.

It the color and character of the wood varies. Some pieces are amazing others rather bland. It's best go to a store and select it yourself rather than ordering it. Nice wood to work with.

Has nice grain color but the texture sanded to a 600 still has 100's of tiny holes.

I bought this with the intent to use it for a forearm nose piece and a pistol grip cap for my weatherby rifle. Expecting to be getting a block of wood with some character to it, I would have got same results out of plain walnut. Although the wood was easy to work with. Not to happy.

I recently bought a wood lathe but don't know what chuck to get so I can start turning bowls and such.?
BEST ANSWER: A scrool chuck is one thing that you can use, look for one that has interchangeable jaws & a wood screw to start with. You can use a face plate if you have one, it was used before the scrool chuck came in use. Look to pay about $100. 00 to $150.00 for a good scrool chuck .The Nova SC3is one that I have.
