Maple Pen Blank

A clean, crisp, and versatile pen blank crafted from Maple (Acer saccharum / Acer campestre), one of the most popular and widely used hardwoods for pen turning. Maple's pale, consistent colouring and fine, even grain make it an excellent choice for those who appreciate understated elegance — and its smooth surface takes dyes, stains, and finishes beautifully.

Wood Characteristics

• Finish: Sands and polishes to a superb, silky smooth surface — one of the finest finishing hardwoods available; accepts dyes and stains very evenly
