Notes:

• Turning blanks are cut from premium kiln dried lumber.
• The grain pattern described in the wood is where the growth pattern of the tree creates irregularities, which create a three-dimensional-looking pattern often called curly, mottled.
• Due to the nature of wood, no two pieces are alike, and movement, shrinkage, or expansion can occur.
• Dimensions may vary +/- ⅛"
• Wood dust has been known to cause allergic reactions among wood workers, therefore sufficient ventilation, dust extraction equipment, and the use of proper respirators and eye protection is essential.
