Pen Makers Choice™ Stabilized Pen Blanks turn and finish like acrylics or plastics. The process of stabilizing has been used for years to improve the workability and durability of wood blanks such as knife handles, pens, and other materials. Resistant to water, oils, and most solvents, stabilized blanks turn very easily and can be finished to a glass-like finish without too much effort.

• Blank size: approx. 11/16" x 5"
• Resists oil, water, and everyday wear and tear
• Easy to turn, cuts clean
• Ideal for achieving a glass-like finish

(Acer rubrum) Coloring is caused by the Ambrosia beetle. It burrows into the tree, thus creating the "worm-holes" and discoloration.
