  • Pieces are cubes roughly a minimum of 5/8"<  x 1-3/4"-2-1/2"
  • Some pieces are clearly longer than 2-1/2" but are still at least a minimum of 5/8" square
    • Size can be more accurately judged in pictures. Note: They're not perfect. Some pieces may be slightly warped, but each piece can be used with ample room to make nearly any pen except the large Gentleman's pens.]]>     These are simply the blanks I use to make my pens. They’re not stabilized because I don’t stabilize my pen blanks. I do use CA glue and sawdust to fill any small holes, gaps, or cracks with sawdust. They aren’t perfect. They are literally pieces of a cherry tree that I logged, transported several hundred miles from my parents property, milled, and dried to <6% moisture content. My meter doesn’t go below that.

    These boxes are generally suited towards double barrel pens

    Please see rule in pictures for more details
