Lemonwood Pen Blank

A delightful pen blank crafted from Lemonwood (Calycophyllum candidissimum), a fine-grained tropical hardwood from Central America and the Caribbean. Lemonwood has long been favoured by craftsmen for its smooth, even texture and pale creamy colour, making it an excellent choice for pen turning — particularly for those who enjoy applying dyes, stains, or decorative finishes.
