Bulk Starter Blank Pack: 25 Pen Blanks (5 each of 5 species): $70.00 (30% off $100)
A no-fuss pack of five everyday Australian and exotic turning timbers, five blanks of each, for makers who want plenty of stock to practise on without spending big.
Total value: $100. EOFY price: $70.00, a 30% saving. You save $30.
This pack is built for time at the lathe. Twenty-five pen blanks across five different timbers gives you room to repeat a shape, dial in your tool work, and get a feel for how different species cut and sand, all at a starter-friendly price per blank. A solid first run for newer turners, or a handy top-up for anyone working through a market batch.
Bundle Includes 25 Blanks (5 of each):
- Blackbutt (PB634): An Australian coastal eucalypt from the forests of NSW and Queensland. Pale brown heartwood with a faint pink tinge when freshly cut, and a moderately coarse, uniform grain. A friendly, good-value timber to learn on.
- Bimble Box (PB601): Also known as Poplar Box, common across inland Queensland and NSW. A firmer timber to turn, with attractive colour and figure, that sands well thanks to its short grain and takes a high polish. Dry, not waxed. 20 x 20 x 120mm.
- PNG Rosewood (PB620): A rare exotic hardwood (Pterocarpus indicus) from Southeast Asia, with a fragrant aroma and colour running from yellow through golden brown to red. Turns and sands beautifully, machines well even where the grain gets cranky, and takes any finish you put on it. Dry, not waxed. 18 x 18 x 120mm.
- Pacific Jarrah (PB636): A warm red-brown timber with a fine, straight, even grain and a rich, consistent colour. A good-value blank that suits a simple, classic pen.
- Red Gum (PB632): A classic Australian eucalypt in warm red and orange-brown tones, with paler patches and natural colour variation from blank to blank. A solid, characterful timber with plenty of warmth.
Why This Pack Works:
- Twenty-five blanks across five timbers, so there's plenty to practise on
- A spread of native and exotic species to compare how each one cuts and finishes
- A low cost per blank, ideal for repetition and learning the basics
- Pen-blank sized and ready to mount
- A practical top-up for market sellers working through a batch
Perfect For:
- Newer turners wanting volume to build confidence and consistency
- Makers practising a new shape or technique who need plenty of stock
- Market sellers after an affordable run of varied timber
- Anyone wanting to try five different species without buying full packs of each
EOFY Benefit:
This is the most affordable way to get a proper run of timber on the lathe, five species, five blanks each, all at a special EOFY price. Limited time offer, while stocks last.
