Anigre Pen Blanks
Anigre Pen Blanks are prized by woodworkers and pen turners for their attractive appearance, excellent workability, and versatility. Native to tropical West and Central Africa, Anigre features a warm pale yellow to light golden-brown color with a subtle, elegant grain that ranges from straight to slightly interlocked.
Often compared to maple in appearance but with a more exotic origin, Anigre machines, glues, sands, and finishes exceptionally well. Its uniform texture and stability make it an excellent choice for creating custom pens, bottle stoppers, handles, and other small turning projects.
Whether left natural or enhanced with your favorite finish, Anigre produces clean, refined results with a sophisticated look.

Why Turners Love Anigre
Anigre is well known for its consistent texture, ease of machining, and attractive natural color. It turns cleanly on the lathe and accepts a wide variety of finishes, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced turners. The subtle grain pattern allows hardware and craftsmanship to take center stage while still showcasing the beauty of real wood.
Tips for Success
Sharp tools produce the cleanest cuts in Anigre. Sand through progressively finer grits and finish with CA, friction polish, oil, or lacquer for a smooth, professional appearance. The light natural color also makes Anigre an excellent candidate for dyes and decorative finishing techniques.
