Hoop Pine Bowl Blank with Spalting 310 x 65mm

Hoop Pine (Araucaria cunninghamii) is a highly regarded timber native to the subtropical and tropical regions of eastern Australia, primarily Queensland. This softwood is widely used in woodturning due to its fine, straight grain, light color, and smooth texture, making it ideal for detailed projects like bowls, pens, and spindles. It takes stain and polish well, showcasing a beautiful, even finish.

Sustainably sourced, Hoop Pine is harvested from managed forests, with a focus on long-term regeneration and minimal environmental impact. As a relatively fast-growing species, it is a great choice for eco-conscious woodworkers looking for a renewable material. The wood is easy to work with, offering a balance of strength, flexibility, and durability.

For woodturners seeking a versatile, beautiful, and sustainable wood, Hoop Pine is an excellent option that supports responsible forestry practices while delivering high-quality results.
