Buckeye Burl Pen Blank Stabilized DARK Pre-Tubed Sierra
Aesculus glabra, commonly known as Ohio buckeye, Texas buckeye, fetid buckeye, and horse chestnut is a species of tree in the soapberry family (Sapindaceae) native to North America. Buckeye is a genus of about six species of North American trees and shrubs with nutlike seeds that resemble the eye of a deer.
These blanks are cut from a tree that had natural burl and dark coloration. It is anticipated that buckeye will be more difficult to obtain for the next few years, so we expect this is the last we will see for a while. The pen blanks have been stabilized and are priced per each. Blanks in the photos are a representative sample of the ones you will receive. Blanks have been lightly sprayed. This listing is for the best of the DARK blanks that we have pre-tubed for a sierra-size pen.
The picture is representative of the quality you will receive–very desirable DARK burly look!! These are hand-selected by Ed–pens I believe will command a hefty premium price.
