Description
Steeped in history and prized by ancient Greeks and Romans, Thuya Burl pen blanks bring centuries of tradition to your pen turning. Harvested from the historic Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco, these rare pen blanks carry the legacy of a wood once so treasured that civilizations competed for its most beautiful pieces. With a rich color palette ranging from lustrous golden brown to nearly black, these pen blanks offer pen turners an extraordinary canvas for creative expression. The interlocked, fine grain creates mesmerizing patterns, with perfectly round eyes scattered like delicate constellations across the wood's surface ? some burls presenting a uniform pattern reminiscent of bird's-eye maple.
Moderately firm and dense with a high oil content, Thuya Burl blanks provide exceptional turning characteristics. While slightly brittle, they machine beautifully, allowing pen makers to create intricate, delicate designs with precision. Each blank promises a unique turning experience, transforming your pen into a work of art with deep historical significance.
