Lot 202: A Collection of Hardwood Woodturning Blanks and Partially Completed Projects
Sold for: £5
This lot comprises an assortment of hardwood woodturning blanks and partially turned project pieces in various stages of completion. The collection includes a large rectangular turning square, several thick circular bowl blanks, and multiple partially turned vessel forms. One prominent circular blank features dark spalted grain patterns throughout the light-coloured timber. Another thick disc shows a deep reddish-brown heartwood. The assembly includes a partially turned decorative vessel with a pedestal base and a pierced lattice-work or cage-turned upper section. The pieces are primarily raw timber showing rough-sawn edges, initial lathe turning marks, and exposed natural grain. One smaller dark brown cylindrical blank and several thinner discs are also included. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the items.
Condition report:
The items are in varied states, ranging from raw rough-sawn blocks to work-in-progress turning projects. Surface dust and wood shavings are present across all pieces. The spalted timber blank exhibits natural drying checks and hairline cracks following the grain lines. Tool marks and scoring from initial mounting on a lathe are visible on the partially formed pieces. Some edges show minor splintering from the sawing process. The items are stored loose within a recycled cardboard box.
