Formerly known as Satine, the pen blanks, also known as Bloodwood, have become highly sought after due to their impressive durability and alluring coloring. With its bold crimson tone, which can darken to a deep reddish brown with sunlight exposure, Bloodwood is a standout choice for woodturning projects. To maintain its vibrant shade, it is recommended to use a thick protective finish and avoid prolonged sunlight exposure. Additionally, the dense nature of this wood allows for a flawless finish and a stunning shine.
