Bloodwood Pen Blank

A strikingly vivid pen blank crafted from Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens), a South American hardwood that lives up to its dramatic name with an intense, deep crimson-red colour unlike any other timber. Bloodwood is a showstopper in the pen turning world, producing pens of bold, jewel-like beauty.
