What does “mottled” mean?
Mottled refers to a naturally irregular pattern of colour and figure. In maple burl, this shows up as uneven patches of lighter and darker tones, mixed with eyes and swirling grain. This natural variation is what gives burl wood its depth, movement and visual interest — no two blanks are ever the same.
What size is the blank?
Each blank measures approximately 3/4" square by 5" long, which provides ample material for most pen kits and allows room for shaping and trimming during turning. Please note: the photo shown is a typical representation. Each blank is unique. Your blanks will be selected at random and may differ slightly from the illustration.
