With its contrasting palette of rich browns, creamy gold heartwood, and dark streaks that weave throughout the grain, marblewood makes an excellent turning wood. It is fine textured, with a wavy or ''webbed'' grain pattern that is delightful to watch as you turn. Texture is medium, with open pores, and the wood is exceedingly stable. Marblewood is dense and heavy, and takes a high polish. With sharp tools, you will be rewarded with smooth surfaces and stunning figure.

Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products can expose you to wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer. Avoid inhaling wood dust or use a dust mask or other safeguards for personal protection. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/wood
