What makes Camphor Burl / Cinnamon Burl special for pen turning?

Camphor Burl is prized for its dramatic, chaotic grain created by burl growth. Burl is a rare, abnormal growth on a tree that has beautiful swirling figure and eyes. The figure ranges from tight eyes to flowing swirls, giving every pen a one-of-a-kind look. The wood turns cleanly with sharp tools and rewards careful technique with striking results, especially on slim or minimalist pen designs where the figure can shine.

Each blank is selected at random and may vary slightly from the image shown in colour, figure, and grain pattern. These natural variations are what make burl wood especially appealing to pen turners.

What are the dimensions of these blanks?

Each blank measures approximately 5/8" square by 5" long, a popular size for 7 mm pen kits and ideal for smaller-diameter designs. This size still provides sufficient material for drilling, shaping, and trimming.

Two fun facts about Camphor Burl / Cinnamon Burl:

• Camphor wood is traditionally known for its aromatic properties; freshly cut pieces often carry a subtle, spicy scent.

• Burl sections form as a natural response to stress or injury in the tree, which is why no two blanks ever look the same.
