Pen Blanks
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

Bolivian Rosewood AtoJ
Bolivian Rosewood, dried pieces in 2 x 2 x 12. We planed them to check for defects so they are now mostly 1 15/16 inches square, but some are longer than listed. The smallest any of them are is 1 7/8 inches square after planing them smooth. We dry these for as long as it takes to get them to you ready to work. Most options sold on the market are wet wood, so be aware of the differences.

Knife Blanks
African Blackwood 8to11
African Blackwood is a genuine rosewood and has been highly prized for thousands of years. It is used in musical instrument uses, but is really exquisite for use in all kinds of craft work because the wood finishes great and is a joy to work with. Being a genuine rosewood, supplies are severely limited by a permit program and it is now hard to get.

Bowl Blanks

Genuine Rosewood bowl blanks in African Blackwood. These used to be easy to find, but not for a long time. These were dried for over a decade, truly ready to use. The piece #12 has some burl rays you can see in the front, and some other figure scattered around. 13 has figure in that one lighter area. 14 is very dark and appears to be musical instrument grade, uncommon for sure.
