Nutmeg - SpectraPly wood is made in the USA from veneered layers of premium yellow birch that have been brightly dyed. Spectraply blanks offer a unique  turning experience that yields high quality, vibrant projects! The veneers are dyed under extreme pressure for full penetration of the dye throughout the wood. After drying to 5% moisture content, they are then laminated in a radio frequency press for an unfailing bond with a perfectly consistent lined appearance. You'll enjoy vivid color, easy turning, and excellent stability. SpectraPly wood is easiest to use with sharp cutting tools. It glues easily and takes a variety of finishes; however spray on finish will ensure clearer color delineation.
