Description

Imperial Redwood Burl Pen Blanks are a standard on to themselves. As an oversized 1″ highly figured burl pen blank, we hand select the pieces chosen to be cut down to this size. Cut from salvaged “OG” (old growth) stumps our pen blanks are taken from the same wood we cut all our other blanks from. The burl itself was salvaged from an enormous stump, many of which are 12+ feet tall. These stumps remain in the coastal forests of northern CA and just north of the California/Oregon border. When in the presence of the trees, in these ancient forests, one can’t help but be in awe of their beauty. The stumps serve as a reminder of what is left from so many of the giants that were logged back in the 1800’s. As one of the most symbolically important trees to the Western United States, the California Redwood is admired and respected by millions. The Redwood’s unique characteristics, incredible size and beauty, as well as its historical significance and other intangible values set these immense, majestic trees apart from all others. NW Imperial redwood burl pen blanks are larger than most offered by other craft supply companies. We choose to cut ours this size because we absolutely love this species, and believe there are many uses for these beauties beyond a pen. As an excellent tone wood tone, durable and able to take a beating, we like to think our Imperial Redwood Burl Pen Blanks can be utilized in dozens of applications. ** Please note the square size (W x H) may vary 1/8″ +/- **
