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!

Buckeye Burl 28 - 34

Buckeye Burl that has been dried and stabilized with resin. We take the extra step of searching for any imperfections we can fill with superglue to make a more perfect blank. Really nice pieces.

Afzelia Burl 1to15

Small dried panels in Afzelia burl we originally had cut for small samples many years ago.  I found them in a forgotten box recently, where they'd been for about 12 years.   Afzelia burl is extremely rare and very hard to find.   Note that these are good for various uses including knife blocks, or cutting in two and using as two short pen blanks.   Price shown is nothing like what we would have to pay if we got these now.  The price of these would average $21 each at current prices, so take advantage of this find.

Amboyna Burl 16to27

Small panels in dried Amboyna Burl.  These were found in a box recently I had put away about 12 years ago.     Sold at a special price based on what we paid many years ago.  Current pricing for these produced today would average:   $22.50 each Note you can use these for various uses, including knife blanks and also cut down the length to make two amboyna burl short pen blanks.

Amboyna Burl 200to204

Incredibly figured  Amboyna Burl.  This is  Dried medium weight material so it is a dream to sand and very easy to cut.  Still hard enough to be quite tough though.   Because amboyna is usually sold at the source by weight, the somewhat lighter weight means this burl costs over 30% less then it would have if it were the higher weight material.

Amboyna Burl 525 - 529
