Geronggang Bowl Blank 180 x 40mm

Geronggang is a lightweight, easy-working hardwood sourced from Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Indonesia. Known for its pale cream to light straw colouring, this timber offers a clean, understated look that works beautifully for both practice turning and finished pieces where subtle grain is preferred.

With its straight, even grain and soft cutting nature, Geronggang is a pleasure to turn. It is forgiving on tools, sands quickly, and is ideal for developing technique, testing forms, or creating smooth flowing shapes without excessive tool wear. When finished, it accepts stains, dyes, paints, and oils exceptionally well, making it a popular choice for coloured or embellished turning projects.

Geronggang is commonly used for larger forms where weight matters, as well as teaching environments and production work.

Ideal for: bowls, platters, practice blanks, hollow forms, painted or dyed turnings, and teaching projects.

A versatile and approachable timber, Geronggang is perfect for woodturners looking for easy workability, clean results, and a great base for creative finishes.
