Pen Blanks in Texas Woods Many of my Texas woods are very attractive and can make for beautiful and eye-catching pens. As I saw logs and mill the wood for lumber and turning blanks, I am always alert for nicely-figured and colorful wood that would be suitable for such pens. I have limited quantities of the blanks listed below. They are generously sawn to "Texas size", approximately 1" by 1" by 5" to 6" and I sell most of them for $2 each with no minimum (some that are more hard to come by, such as Mistletoe Mesquite burl, Huisache and Texas Ebony blanks are $3.00 to $4.00 each). However, when you consider the cost of postage, you may find that you can get "more" pen blanks for the same shipping cost as "less" pen blanks! These pen blanks are the only wood on my website that are truly kiln-dried. My only drying facility beyond simple, outdoor air-drying lumber stacks is a small solar kiln. It is suitable for the pen blanks but not for larger blocks, so most of the wood on my website is green to partially air-dried. click to enlarge Texas Ebony ....$4.00 click to enlarge Heavily spalted Sweetgum ....$4.00 Please note - due to the heavy spalting, these Sweetgum pen blanks are a bit soft and will require careful turning and sharp tools. click to enlarge Texas Honey Mesquite ....$2.00 click to enlarge Burly Texas Honey Mesquite ....$3.00 to $4.00, depending on quality of burl (those in the photo are of the best!) click to enlarge Texas Bodark (AKA Bois d'Arc, Osage Orange or Hedgeapple) ....$2.00 click to enlarge Texas Huisache (Sweet Acacia) ....$3.00 click to enlarge Texas Live Oak ....$2.00 click to enlarge Texas Black Cherry ....$3.00 click to enlarge Texas Pecan ....$2.00 click to enlarge Texas Redbud ....$2.00 Low on stock at the moment, but I have a few. click to enlarge Texas Slippery Elm ....$2.00 click to enlarge Texas Sycamore ....$2.00 click to enlarge Texas Spalted Sycamore ....$4.00 Sorry - I am completely out of well-spalted Sycamore at the moment. click to enlarge Texas Water Oak ....$2.00 click to enlarge Texas Pen Blank Sampler Pack This is a good and inexpensive way to try a number of our Texas "exotic" woods.

so I may be able to meet your specific requirements.
If not - send an email with your requirements and I will put it into my
