1" Maple Wood Round Bead: Large Craft Bead with 7/32" Hole

A 1" diameter spherical bead made from solid maple, this unfinished wood component is designed for crafters, educators, woodworkers, and DIY builders who require a consistent, high-quality part for creative, educational, and decorative projects. The large 7/32" (6mm) hole easily accommodates various cords, wires, and rods, solving the need for a robust, paint-ready bead that supports both functional assembly and aesthetic finishes.

Key Features

  • Ready for Immediate Use: Tumble sanded for a smooth surface that accepts paint, stain, and glue with minimal prep—ideal for time-sensitive projects.
  • Uniform Size and Fit: Carefully manufactured for a consistent 1" (25mm) diameter, ensuring predictable results in counted or symmetrical designs.
  • Clean, Smooth Hole: Precisely drilled 7/32" (6mm) hole makes threading, stringing, and assembly simple and frustration-free.
  • Natural Solid Maple: Dense, closed-grain hardwood offers excellent adhesive properties and accepts detailed finishes, supporting higher build quality.
  • Reliable Threadability: Smooth, accurately sized opening is well suited for both rigid and flexible materials—nylon, cotton, or wooden rods.

  • Bulk Pack Options: Choose from 20, 100, or 500-piece packs (custom bulk quantities available by request) for every scale of project.
