Bloodwood PRIMO PLUS pen blanks
These are a really rare ultra deep red with fine grain that represent the best bloodwood we've had in 20+ years. You'll find that the density is heavier which actually allows finer detail if you want it. This is probably a one time thing, we have gotten bloodwood again since this time but virtually none are like these. We got these in 2021 and slow dried them til now.$4.80

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

Bloodwood AtoL
Dried pieces in a very special bloodwood. We have been in business since 2003. The best bloodwood we have ever had is this. The color, density, fineness of grain, this has it all and I didn't think I'd ever see this. We had something almost as good that ran out around 2010 when cutting in a certain part of Brazil was stopped. This seems to have all come from the same extraordinary log. I did see a picture of the log but I don't have copyright so cannot show it here. It was very large, over 3 feet around and had the deepest cranberry red color I have seen, just as these do. It has taken years to dry these, you cannot rush high density bloodwood. They are 8-12% moisture content now. In some cases you may need them drier. If so, let me know as I know the best way to dry. Even being this dry, they cannot just be left out in the sun or in extreme dry or heat, be careful with them in that kind of environment.

Bloodwood M to T
Excellent pieces of bloodwood dried for almost 3 years. We got these in August 2021 and have been slow drying them ever since. It makes a huge difference to dry bloodwood correctly. You cannot rush this wood type (unless you are a wizard with a vacuum kiln) otherwise you have to wait. Most sellers would never do this for you, you just get handed a wet, waxed piece which may have hidden cracks and rot. These were really nice but we rejected lots of them that you'll never see since they had hidden cracks under the wax when we got them in. Even dry bloodwood can be cracked by wrong handling so always use extra caution with storage and working in bloodwood. Avoid excess heat in sanding as that is the number one cause of cracks, other than leaving them out exposed in dry or warm areas which also causes issues.

Borneo Rosewood 15-20
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.
