Bubinga Pen Blank

A stunning pen blank crafted from Bubinga (Guibourtia demeusei), one of Africa's most celebrated decorative hardwoods. Also known as African Rosewood, Bubinga is prized by pen turners worldwide for its spectacular pink to reddish-brown colouring, dramatic figuring, and superb finishing qualities — producing pens of exceptional beauty and character.
