How is the Agave tree processed into a blank?
The agave plant is not a tree; it is actually a succulent. At the end of its lifespan, it grows a pole. Grow Blanks harvests these poles, dries them, and cuts them into pieces that form the blanks. The blanks are glued together at a ratio of 2:1 (water to wood glue). Grow Blanks delivers a unique quality of agave blanks worldwide. Each blank contains 18–25 stems. Grow Blanks sorts the material into four different density categories to provide consistent quality. This makes the shaping process easier and improves the performance of the boards.
