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!

Mixed Burls, 1 to 13
Three burl types, all uncommon in turning blanks. The Kelat burl is very rare on the market, I can find no other current seller. The Mesquite burl it is not rare but hard to find good pieces because Mesquite burls are really small and have large holes in them. Making turning blanks, including pen blanks is not really feasible as they cost more to make then the selling price. Fun to offer though. For the Velvet Tamarind Burl, this is a very rare burl from Laos, and I can find very little else for sale. Ours have the added advantage of me spending hours in multiple sessions gluing the outside, as the burl is full of little slits and cavities. No doubt there are many places inside where my glue could not reach. So plan to glue these more once you get into them, but I did all that could be done from the outside to give you a big head start.

Orange Mallee pen blanks
Orange Mallee is an Australian burl. These were very well dried and then coated heavily with superglue. This is both for protection but to also fill in most of the natural slits in the burl. You may decide not to fill them on the inside or to do what we did. Very nice colors .

Gmelia Burl
Some unusual burls for one time sale. NOTES: The American elm burl has been soaked in superglue which was then sanded off multiple times. You likely will have to glue it more on the inside but we really worked all the glue in we could from the outside. These were so extraordinary for elm I decided to put a couple hours+ additional work into them just to make them nice. We have no more elm like these, nor have I seen any for sale. The Gmelia burl is the last piece we have in the shop, and it is a very nice solid and pretty piece.
