We stock primarily North American species. AcryliWood stabilized wood is made with our proprietary stabilization process. The resin stabilizes the wood, adds contrast to the the grain, and improves turning properties of burls and spalted woods. See our Acryliwood Tips page. Woods shipped will not be identical to the picture, but similar in appearance.
Please specify the species and color or lot number when ordering.
Notes: Predrilling and turned round available at additional cost. Information and pricing. Although not listed, many species can be cut and stabilized in other sizes up to 2-1/4" square. Please inquire for availability and pricing on other sizes.

Cherry Burl & Figured CherryOur Northern Cherry (prunus pennsylvanica or prunus serotina) Burls are quite dense with a large number of "eyes".The figured Cherry is from the same species of tree. They sometimes display an abnormal grain pattern that produces this figuring. I call it burl "wannabe" :)

Spalted Northern IronwoodThese blanks are from Northern Ironwood (ostrya virginiana). Green unspalted Northern ironwood is quite boring, with a mostly white, extremely dense wood. Northern Ironwood develops beautiful whorls of brown streaking when spalted. It reminds me of a chocolate swirl cake. Due to the density, stabilizing can be tricky. Heavily spalted areas take resin easily, while unspalted areas take virtually none. We have found that occasionally there may be hidden soft spalted spots where the resin couldn't find a pathway inside. The easiest way to handle this is to treat the area with CA glue, or contact us for a replacement blank. It makes a hard blank and generally turns well. Due to its hardness chipping can be a problem.
$3.25 Standard Pen Blank (where available)

Desert IronwoodThese blanks come from private property in the Sonora desert. These are currently the only blanks we sell that aren't stabilized. They are too dense for the resin to penetrate. These are beautiful shades of copper brown with broad bands. with exceptional depth after polishing. Solid, no voids, very hard and heavy.

General Information: Dye Process: Many people believe that dye only penetrates the outer layer of the wood. That is true for a dipping process. We use a multiple cycle pressure process that forces the dye through the volume of the wood. Dye absorption is affected primarily by the wood density and cell structure, and less by distance from the surface. Some of the most striking effects are obtained on spalted woods with significant variations in wood density. The dye is most readily absorbed by the softer areas, adding color contrast to the wood. Quality: We do our best to inspect everything we sell. Wood is a natural material and may occasionally have a significant defect that isn't visible before turning to size. If you receive a blank that you find is not usable, please let us know so that we can send you a replacement. We don't want you to go away unhappy! The heat required in the stabilization process will sometimes cause the blank to cure with a slight permanent bow. A small warp is normally not significant because the blank is normally cut in half before drilling and turning for pen making. If you intend to use stabilized pen blanks for an application where any warp will be problem, please let us know when you order.
