Camelthorn Pen Blank

A striking pen blank crafted from Camelthorn (Vachellia erioloba), a dense and highly prized African hardwood renowned for its rich golden-brown tones, fine grain, and exceptional natural lustre. Camelthorn is a pleasure to turn, finishing to a beautiful, almost glassy surface that showcases the wood's warm character — an excellent choice for a standout handcrafted pen.

Wood Characteristics:

• Colour: Rich golden-brown to warm amber, often with subtle darker streaking.
• Grain: Fine and straight to slightly interlocked, with a smooth, even texture.
• Hardness: Very dense and hard — excellent durability and resistance to wear.
• Finish: Takes a superb natural polish; the warm tones deepen beautifully under a clear finish.
• Workability: Turns cleanly to a fine surface; sharp tools recommended due to density.
