Why Choose Bloodwood?

Extraordinarily hard, dense, and tight grained. Bloodwood often holds a lot of tension in the wood, making it unstable and prone to twist or cup. It's best used in small pieces. However, woodworkers like the way it finishes and polishes, and the vivid color is always eye catching.

Turn your own beautiful pens that will make your family and friends smile. Using these hand-sorted pen blanks from Woodworkers Source means you get only the highest quality blanks that are cut square from premium kiln dried lumber.

happy customer
I was extreme happy with my order and all the help from Cameron. also wasn't sure how to say some of the wood I was looking for. not only were they nice enough to explain but also knowledgeable enough to tell me how it would turn out and all the up's and down's about the wood. also made a couple of suggestions about some other woods for the project I was commissioned to do.
