Powton Sapphire Dragon Timber – Woodturning & Hand Carving

Bring your next project to life with Powton Sapphire Dragon, also known as Paulownia. This exceptionally lightweight timber features pale colouring and generally straight grain, making it an appealing choice for decorative woodturning and hand carving.

Its soft nature makes it easy to shape with sharp carving tools, while its natural grain adds character to finished pieces. Leave it natural to showcase the timber or add colour with stains and painted finishes.

Suggested projects include:

• Decorative bowls and turned ornaments

• Carved figures and sculptures

• Relief carvings and decorative panels

• Lightweight craft and hobby projects

For the best results, use sharp tools and controlled, light cuts to help minimise tear-out. Its soft surface can mark easily, so handle carefully during shaping and finishing.

Please note: All timber cuts are subject to a tolerance of up to 5mm.

Timber is a natural product, and characteristics such as colour, grain, texture, and appearance may vary between pieces.
