Australian Blackwood GG pen blanks
Australian Blackwood (acacia melanoxylon) pen blanks in GG. Gallery grade means there are at least two very figured sides, or sometimes even 3-4 sides that are figured. Close relative of Hawaiian Koa and very hard to tell apart sometimes. But less expensive, and more importantly, still available unlike Koa which is nearly gone in high figured pieces. Sizes are 3/4 x 3/4 x 5-6 inches long. Pen blanks are always sold dried.$8.00

Bois de Rose pen blank, 3/4
Note: these are samples. Your piece could be darker than the top piece and look almost black when you receive it. It can be very dark all the way through, or could look like the lower one in the picture above. Unfortunately we cannot easily select older pieces for color, because there is no way to tell without cutting the wood first (due to a dark violet patina on old pieces). The normal range of colors goes from purple black to reddish, and they all look basically the same on the outside, but we do make guesses when asked. This wood cannot be shipped outside the USA due to CITES trade rules on woods from Madagascar. Limited supply. Limit of 4 per each seperate order, per day$10.20

Buckeye Burl Pen Blanks 1-22
(note some numbers out of order, look down list please) Stabilized Buckeye Burl pen blanks. The size varies, see the labeled photo. These are stabilized with resin under very high pressure to make a dense and reliable blank. We always go over them with superglue after they are stabilized to make sure any crevices reachable from the outside are filled. While it is not common, it is possible to find a cavity inside stabilized pieces since resin does not actually fill gaps, just fills the cells in the wood (This is true of all stabilization types I am aware of). NOTE: A couple of the product numbers are out of order when you order them, sorry, this is a glitch in the display right now, so just make sure you pick the product number you want and all will be fine!
