Laminated Birch Wood Blanks - Red/Gray

Description

Dyed through laminated wood blanks made from FSC certified, sustainably sourced, Nordic white birch veneers. Each wood blank is comprised of layers of 1.5mm veneer, each dyed a vibrant, color-fast, shade, pressed together with a moisture resistant wood glue. Aside from the surface veneers, each veneer layer is high quality and high density AB grade white birch. Surface veneers are C grade.

As laminated blanks are a natural wood product, they have the look, feel, and most importantly, workability of wood. They can be turned on a lathe, hand carved or used in a CNC. You can even finish off your project with a custom laser engraved feature. 

Being a natural wood product means that color, structure and characteristics may vary from one blank to the next. Some live knots and patches may be present in the center of the blank. 

Red/Gray color wood blanks are made by dyeing very light colored birch veneers using an environmentally friendly process with no harmful substances.

Each blank is untrimmed, meaning it will have unfinished and uneven edges.  Some may have glue residue on the edges. We recommend trimming each edge before use.
