Bloodwood Pen Blanks

Once known as Satine, these pen blanks, now commonly referred to as Bloodwood, have gained immense popularity. It's no surprise considering their remarkable strength and captivating coloration. 

Bloodwood boasts a vibrant, crimson hue that can gradually deepen into a rich brownish red when exposed to light over time. To preserve its original shade, applying a thick protective finish and limiting direct sunlight exposure is advisable. Furthermore, this exceptional hardwood's density ensures a splendid finish and a brilliant shine.

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