Ambrosia Maple Turning Blank
We will provide you with a high quality Ambrosia Maple bowl blank in the dimensions of your choice. This blank has already been kiln dried and is ready to be "turned" into your next great project!
We can sometimes accommodate a larger blank than our standard sizes. Please email us for availability and a quote.
Dimensions may vary +/- 1/4" as we often prefer to lightly skip dress the turning blanks to reveal grain & colour. Some blanks may also come with waxed faces and ends.
Colour and Workability
What is Ambrosia Maple lumber? Well it's not actually a species - but rather two things that happen to the wood when it has been infested by the Ambrosia beetle! The most obvious is the tiny holes from the beetle boring through, but it also leaves some interesting streaking caused from a fungus it carries on it's legs. Of course it goes without saying all our lumber is kiln dried and these visitors are no longer an issue!
There can be a variance from batch to batch in terms of how much streaking we get - but we do try our best to send you the boards that have the most character. In regards to the tiny holes - they will need to be filled and it's a great opportunity to try our P-Tec Wood Filler.
Recommended Finish
We recommend using Honey Bee's Natural Wood Cream for a long lasting and food safe finish. Made with only 2 ingredients - pure beeswax and 100% food grade mineral oil - this soft paste is easy to spread and will protect and enhance the natural beauty of your woodturning project.

Very happy with the selection of wood grain and colour. Very prompt delivery. I will definitely be ordering more wood in the near future
Exactly as advertised. I'm very happy
A few worm holes but not a bad product
Hi Terry,
The worm holes are in fact one of the distinct features of Ambrosia Maple. In the product listing we even offer some product ideas on how to fill them in if needed. I hope you were able to use this amazing wood for your project. Please don't hesitate to reach out if we can help in any other way.
Cheers,
Matt

The grain was stunning and the piece was finished as promised. Beautiful product - thanks!
This is my 3rd order with KJP and I am still 100% satisfied with their products and service.
Happy with product
Every board I have ordered has been five star.
The quality is excellent to say the least.
Whoever runs this business knows what they are doing.
Can’t wait to visit the business in person.
The Maple arrived on time and will work perfect. This will be some beautiful counter tops/breakfast bar in my new kitchen. Thank you.

overall i was please with the order, delivery time, quality of product etc...
i was very disappointed in what was supposed to be mahogany that I received. this was not at all what I wanted. I received what is often referred to as lauan or philippine mahogany. this product shouldn't be sold as mahogany.
Hi Mark,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're glad to hear that you were overall pleased with your order, including the delivery time and quality of the product.
However, we apologize for any disappointment with the type of wood you received. We try to be very clear in the item description that this is African Mahogany (Khaya), the most commonly traded Mahogany on the market these days. It is not Lauan - that is a totally different species.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention - we will reevaluate the language and description on the website with our web team.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your business.
Premièrement Merci pour ma commande et livraison.
Deuxièmement le bois reçu était parfait et sans aucun défaut.

Excellent - great cedar, maple, poplar and hickory. Delivery service from Canpar was terrible.
Je suis extrêmement satisfait de l’Ambrosia Maple et très content de ma dernière commande.
Merci beaucoup et je vous souhaite une bonne et heureuse année et surtout de la santé.
This is excellent quality lumber, you would never think it was rough because it as good as most s4s. Great quality and beautiful wood! I will definitely be buying more from KJP!!
Fast shipping and really great quality
Very nice lumber. Even the rough cut needs very minimal planing to be perfect smooth.
I don't use the wood right away I like to keep a good shock. but the wood is beautiful.
I am sorry but I haven't decided what to do with it yet. I'm thinking Chess Board.

As I could tell the wood looked amazing will be shopping here again
Don't count on receiving this product like the picture on the website. Mine had very little figuring in it. I regret even ordering it. Other product I ordered I was pleased with. I will probably not buy wood on line again. Too expensive to return if I'm not pleased.
Second order from Kjp beautiful pieces that were all flat ,no cupping no bowing 👍🏻
