Two fun facts about each of these wood species

Cherry

• Cherry darkens naturally with age and light exposure, developing a rich, warm reddish-brown patina over time.

• It has a fine, even grain that turns smoothly and finishes exceptionally well.

Ash

• Ash is known for its strong, open grain and excellent shock resistance, which is why it’s often used for tool handles and sports equipment.

• Despite its strength, ash is relatively easy to turn and produces crisp details.

Hard maple

• Hard maple is dense and durable, making it an excellent choice for pens that see everyday use.

• Its light, neutral colour makes it ideal for clean, modern pen designs or for showcasing hardware finishes.

Curly maple

• Curly maple features a distinctive rippling figure that appears to move as the pen catches the light.

• The figure becomes especially vivid under a clear, polished finish, making it a longtime favourite among pen turners.
