Ash Pen Blanks-Stabilized

Ash possesses excellent shock resistance and, alongside hickory, stands as one of the most widely utilized hardwoods for tool handles and baseball bats. When stained or dyed, ash bears a striking resemblance to oak, albeit with narrower rays. 

Sadly, the emerald ash borer, an invasive species likely unintentionally brought from Asia, has rapidly spread across North America, decimating countless native populations of ash trees. This devastating invasion has resulted in the loss of millions of ash trees in recent years.

The pen blanks measure 3/4" x 5".
