Brown Ivory Pen Blank

A refined and elegant pen blank crafted from Brown Ivory (Berchemia zeyheri), a rare and highly prized southern African hardwood also known as Pink Ivory's close relative. Brown Ivory is treasured by pen turners for its warm, creamy tones, fine grain, and exceptional finishing qualities — producing pens with a quiet, understated luxury.
