Black Locust Burl pen blanks
Black Locust is a wood that grows in North America and is so durable it is used for fence posts with an expected life of 40 years in wet ground. A long time ago I lived in rainy, humid Southern Maryland and the best fence posts were locust. Pressure treated posts do not last as long. These are really high quality burl. GG+ means there is very high figure visible on all 4 sides, rare. GG means there is high figure on at least 2 parallel sides, but these have figure on 4 sides. It is hard to get this burl with a burl figure this fine and high grade, making them really perfect for pen blanks. Some finishes make them look darker, especially those that soak into the surface.

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$9.50

Borneo Rosewood 28-39
Borneo Rosewood is a rare type of red colored wood from the island of Borneo and also Southeast Asia (Thailand, etc). It is considered the best wood to keep a red color over a long period of time. The wood is quite dense and polishes very well. The darker pieces turn a sort of cranberry red over time. The pieces that are more orange turn a red color over time. Note that the pictures shown pieces that are recently cut, they have not had time to turn to a deeper shade yet. It does not tend to turn brown, making it quite unusual. This is not a genuine rosewood (which all have a latin name starting with "dalbergia") and for that reason it is allowed to be shipped worldwide.
