{"product_id":"woodcraft-woodshop-chechen-wood-turning-stock","title":"Chechen Wood Turning Stock","description":"\u003cp\u003eChechen (Metopium Brownei) is a striking species with colors that are highly varied—red, orange and brown contrasted with darker stripes of blackish brown. Because of the coloration it is sometimes referred to as Caribbean rosewood. Overall it is easy to work, with the exception of planing the interlocking grain. Chechen has become increasingly popular with veneer manufacturers, furniture craftsmen and guitar luthiers as it is a very durable, easy-to-work and -finish wood that is moderately priced for an exotic import.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for box makers and turners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerately hard species, that works easily and finishes well\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponds well to hand and machine tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to interlocking grain, planing is very difficult, and may result in tear-out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuality, kiln-dried stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative to Central America and Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 1-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 1-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e(1) Chechen 1-1\/2\" x 1-1\/2\" x 6\" Wood Turning Stock \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible.
