Curly Maple Pen Blanks – Stabilized & Dyed for Stunning Pen Turning

Bring depth and elegance to your next project with our Curly Maple Pen Blanks, expertly stabilized with resin for maximum durability and smooth turning. Stabilization prevents cracking and checking, while ensuring a finish that rivals acrylics in polish and clarity.

Curly maple, found in all Acer species, is famous for its rippling, three-dimensional grain pattern—often called a chatoyant or “curled” figure. This striking effect becomes even more vivid when dyed, making every pen blank a unique showpiece. Also known as fiddleback maple, this wood has long been prized for its use in fine instruments like violins.

Each pen blank measures approximately 3/4” x 3/4” x 5”, the perfect size for custom pens and small turning projects. Available in clear or a variety of vibrant dyed colors.
