Exotic Wood Pen Blank Bundle 137 – 7 Assorted Wood Species

Discover seven distinctive wood species in one unique pen blank bundle! This assortment brings together a variety of exotic woods, each offering its own natural colours, grain patterns, and character. From richly figured burls and curly grain to dramatic spalting, this collection provides an exciting selection of materials for pen turning.

What woods are included in this bundle?

Each bundle contains 7 pen blanks, one of each species:

• Timuho Burl – Distinctive burl figure with irregular grain patterns and natural character.

• Mimbo Burl – Unique burl figuring with interesting grain movement and visual texture.

• Curly Mango – Attractive, rippling grain that can produce a shimmering, three-dimensional appearance when finished.

• Asian Rosewood – Rich natural colouring and contrasting grain patterns characteristic of rosewood.

• Spalted Guava – Natural spalting creates distinctive lines and colour variations throughout the wood.

• Rengas – A tropical hardwood known for its warm reddish to brown tones and attractive grain.

• Spalted Tamarind – Features natural spalting patterns that add contrast and character to the wood.

What size are the pen blanks?

Each blank measures approximately 3/4" square × 5" long (19 mm × 19 mm × 127 mm), making them suitable for most standard pen turning projects.

How should I turn and finish these blanks?

Use sharp turning tools and take light, controlled cuts, particularly when working with burl or spalted wood. Some blanks may contain irregular grain, natural voids, or softer areas associated with spalting.

Sand progressively through finer grits to bring out the natural figure of each species. Apply your preferred pen finish, such as cyanoacrylate (CA), to protect the wood and enhance its colour and grain.

Helpful turning tips:

• Use sharp tools and take light passes, especially with burl and spalted woods.

• Inspect each blank before drilling for natural checks, voids, or changes in grain direction.

• Fully coat the pen tube with glue before inserting it into the drilled blank.

• Small natural voids can be filled with thicker cyanoacrylate glue as needed.

• Use appropriate dust extraction and respiratory protection when working with exotic woods.

What should I know before purchasing?

We do not replace blanks damaged during turning, drilling, or assembly.
