American Black Walnut Pen Blank

A timeless and deeply satisfying pen blank crafted from American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), one of the most beloved and iconic hardwoods in the world. Prized by craftsmen for centuries, American Black Walnut produces pens with a rich, warm character and a natural sophistication that never goes out of style.

Wood Characteristics

• Colour: Rich chocolate-brown to dark purplish-brown, often with subtle darker streaking — colour mellows to a warm, even tone with age
• Grain: Straight to slightly wavy with a moderately coarse, open texture and a natural lustre
• Hardness: Moderately hard — excellent durability with a comfortable, well-balanced feel in the hand
• Finish: Polishes to a beautiful warm lustre; the rich tones deepen and enrich beautifully under an oil or lacquer finish
• Workability: Turns superbly — one of the most satisfying timbers to work with at the lathe
