Different woods to choose from! |

multicolored stripes that vary from dark brown to black. This photo is
representative of the wood we have in stock. Limited quantities of
this selection. |

Rosewood, South America. Deep dark chocolate brown in color with
occasional strips of even darker tones. This wood makes a handsome

brown and light purple grains running throughout. Most of our selection has some
really nice light and dark tiny, purple grains running throughout. This wood

Cardinal
wood. Brazil. Deep red with tiny black grains running
throughout the wood. This wood makes a really nice, elegant, Slimline pen or pencil

Cocobolo,
Central America. The heartwood colors vary from rich red to an
attractive variegated appearance of yellow, orange and red streak zones. We pick out
only the most unusually grained wood from our supplier.. The unusual grains really
show up great with our larger Cigar, Round Top and Flat Top pens and pencils. This wood is
readily available. |
 |
Curly
Koa, Hawaii. We have found a good source of Koa on the Hawaiian
Islands. As you may expect, this wood is in very limited quantities as the only wood
harvested is from fallen trees that need permits to harvest. Each piece is
unique. Very few, if any, other pen makers will have this wood
available. (NEW WOOD for 2001) |
 |
Honduran
Rosewood, Central America. This is a light brown grained wood with
a very interesting swirled grain. We cut a 2' section of a 12' piece at one
of our suppliers. This unusual grain really shows up well with our larger Round Top
and Flat Top pens and pencils. Limited quantities
of this one particular piece of wood. |
 |
Kingwood,
South America. This heartwood has variegated colors with a
background of rich violet brown, shading almost to black, with streaks of black, brown,
violet and sometimes golden yellow. This darkish violet wood makes a great elegant
pen or pencil in any one of our styles. This wood is readily available. |
 |
Padauk,
West Africa. This heartwood is a deep orange color with
brownish streaks running throughout. This wood looks great with our Black Deco
Slimline pens and pencils. This wood has a textured feel and is not as smooth to the
touch at the Rosewoods. This wood is readily available. |
 |
Red Palm,
USA. This is the heartwood of a red palm tree. This has
one of the most unusual grain patterns of any wood we have seen. This photo pretty
much describes the wood we have in stock. This wood however is susceptible to small
splits along the grain. Black Palm is also available. Limited
quantities of these wood are available. Very few, if any,
other pen makers will have this wood available. |
 |
Redheart,
Central America. Pale to dark red that will deepen in color with
age. This wood also has brownish grains running throughout. This wood makes a
great Slimline pen or pencil in our Gold or Black deco selections. Limited
quantities of this wood are available. |

Tulipwood,
Brazil. The heartwood is a beautiful pink-yellow with a pronounced
striped figure in a variety of shades of salmon pink, and rose red to violet.
This wood make a great Slimline pen and pencil. This is also a ladies pens.
Good pieces of this wood are getting harder and harder to find. Limited quantities
of this wood is available. |
 |
Vera,
Imported from? We are not sure where this wood comes
from but we are in the process of finding out. This wood has green and yellow,
swirling stripes as the grain pattern. We turn this wood and let the unpolished
tubes season on the window sill until the green and yellow grains start to appear.
Please allow 7- 10 working days for these pens. Very few, if any,
other pen makers will have this wood available. |
Do you have an interesting piece of wood that would make a cool
pen? |
We need a piece about 5 to 6 inches long and about 1 inch square. Give us a call and we will make you a pen out of your own
wood. |
