------------------------------------------------------------

Autzen Stadium is an outdoor football stadium in the northwest United States, in Eugene, Oregon. Located north of the University of Oregon campus, it is the home field of the Oregon Ducks of the Pac-12 Conference. Opened 53 years ago in 1967, the stadium has undergone several expansions. The official capacity is 54,000. However, attendance at the stadium regularly exceeds 54,000.

Prior to 1967, the Ducks' on-campus stadium was Hayward Field, which they shared with the track and field team. However, by the late 1950s, it had become apparent that Hayward Field was no longer suitable for the football team. It seated only 22,500 people, making it one of the smallest in the University Division (now Division I), and only 9,000 seats were available to the general public. While nearly every seat was protected from the elements, it had little else going for it. The stadium was in such poor condition that coaches deliberately kept prospective recruits from seeing it. As a result, the Ducks only played three home games per year on campus in most years; with the exception of the Civil War, the annual rivalry game with Oregon State, games that were likely to draw big crowds (against schools like Washington and USC) were played 110 miles (180 km) north in Portland at the larger Multnomah Stadium. With the recognition that the football team had outgrown the campus facility and with popular support to play the entire home schedule in Eugene for the first time in school history, Oregon athletic director Leo Harris led a campaign to build a new stadium on 90 acres (0.36 km2) that the school had acquired for the purpose in the 1950s on his recommendation.

The stadium, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill,[5] was built within an artificial landfill (over the refuse) to eliminate the need for multilevel ramps. As a result, construction took just nine months and cost approximately $2.3 million.[5] $250,000 was contributed by the Autzen Foundation, headed by Thomas E. Autzen (class of 1943), son of Portland lumberman and philanthropist Thomas J. Autzen (1888–1958), for whom the stadium was named. The elder Autzen was ironically an alumnus of Oregon archrival Oregon State University.

In 1967, Oregon hosted Colorado in Autzen Stadium's inaugural game, a 17–13 loss before 27,500 on September 23.[10] Four weeks later on October 21, 16,000 saw Oregon's first win in the new facility; the 31–6 victory over Idaho was the only home win of the season.

The stadium alternates with Oregon State's Reser Stadium as host of the Civil War game.

Autzen hosted the inaugural Pac-12 Conference Championship game on December 2, 2011, as the Pac-12 North champion Ducks defeated the Pac-12 South champion UCLA Bruins.

BC-0006 1-7/16

(0)

$28.00

BC-0006 delivers premium performance for call makers who demand both durability and striking aesthetics in their finished pieces. This 1-7/16 inch by 6 inch hybrid resin burl call blank combines natural tan and gold burl wood with crystal-clear resin and vibrant blue-purple accents, creating visual depth that stands out on the range or in the field. Stabilized for crack resistance, the blank turns cleanly while preserving organic grain patterns that intensify under finish.

Materials & Blank Sizes

Each BC-0006 blank measures exactly 1-7/16 inches in diameter by 6 inches long, giving makers ample stock for standard duck, goose, and turkey call bodies or multiple shorter projects. Clear resin fully encases the burl, locking in natural color variations and preventing movement during machining. The hybrid construction offers the warmth of real wood with the stability of cured resin, making it ideal for high-wear applications. Explore the full range of similar options in our Call Blanks collection or compare patterns across the Hybrid blanks gallery.

Casting & Turning Story

Every blank undergoes vacuum casting to remove air pockets, ensuring a bubble-free matrix that machines predictably on the lathe. The stabilized burl resists tear-out with both carbide and HSS tools, allowing light, consistent passes that keep heat low and preserve resin clarity. Follow this proven workflow for best results:

Start between centers or in a collet chuck with 120-grit sanding to establish roundness.
Progress through 220, 400, and 600 grit, then micro-mesh pads up to 12000 for a glass-smooth surface.
Apply thin CA glue or friction polish in light coats, allowing full cure between layers.
Finish with Magic Juice Polishing Compound to maximize color contrast at the resin-wood interface.

The 6-inch length supports full-size calls or can be sectioned for tool handles and finials. Light cuts prevent overheating that could affect the natural burl. Trace your specific blank’s batch and COA through the serial-coll-bc collection for complete material provenance and sourcing documentation.

Project Inspiration

BC-0006 excels for game-call bodies that combine strength with dramatic visual appeal. Pair finished calls with Compatible Pen Component Sets to create matching gift sets or display pieces. Cut shorter sections for custom knife handles, bottle-stopper tops, or hybrid ring cores that showcase the resin-burl contrast. The bold blue and purple accents make each call a true conversation piece. Display completed work on Pen display stands & COA holders that accommodate serial_BC certificates. Browse complementary sizes in Pen blanks or add shimmer to future projects with Mica powders. Makers seeking bolder textures can explore Maneater alligator jawbone blanks for alternative patterns.

Additional siblings in the serial_BC family include BC-0002, BC-0003, BC-0004, BC-0005, BC-0007, BC-0008, BC-0009, BC-0010, BC-0012, and BC-0013.

Care & Safety

Always wear appropriate dust protection when turning or sanding. These blanks contain stabilized natural materials and cured resin; they are not food-safe until properly finished. Store in a stable environment to preserve resin clarity and burl integrity.

BC-0008 1-7/16

(0)

$28.00

Materials & Blank Sizes

The BC-0008 hybrid resin burl call blank measures exactly 1-7/16 inches in diameter by 6 inches long, delivering ample stock for standard game call bodies and small tool handles. Natural burl wood featuring rich brown grain is suspended in vibrant translucent orange resin, creating dramatic depth and visual contrast that stands out on the finished piece. This stabilized construction locks the organic patterns in place while preserving the authentic character makers seek in hybrid blanks. The combination of dense burl figure and luminous orange resin produces a striking visual that catches light beautifully in finished calls.

Casting & Turning Story

Each BC-0008 blank is cast with precision to ensure the burl remains centered and fully encapsulated. The resin matrix stabilizes the wood against movement, allowing clean cuts on the lathe without tear-out or cracking. Turners report excellent performance with carbide inserts, standard gouges, and progressive sanding from 120 grit through micro-mesh. The hybrid material accepts cyanoacrylate, friction polish, and epoxy finishes equally well. For best results pair your finished call with Magic Juice Polishing Compound to bring out maximum depth in the orange resin.

Follow this multi-step workflow for optimal results:

Secure the blank between centers or in a chuck, checking for balance before starting the lathe.
Rough turn to shape using a sharp gouge or carbide tool, taking light passes to avoid vibration.
Progress through grits from 120 to 400, then refine with micro-mesh pads for a glass-smooth surface.
Apply your chosen finish in thin coats, allowing full cure between applications.
Polish with Magic Juice Polishing Compound to reveal the full color depth.

Always wear proper dust protection when turning or sanding stabilized natural materials. Provenance details are traceable through our serial-coll-bc collection, where batch records for every BC-series blank are maintained. This level of documentation sets Stadium Pen Blanks apart from generic suppliers and supports makers who value consistency across multiple projects.

Project Inspiration

BC-0008 excels in duck call, goose call, and turkey call bodies where the translucent orange resin creates a striking contrast against the burl grain. The 6-inch length also suits custom tool handles, bottle stopper tops, and small finials. Makers frequently combine BC-0008 with components from our Compatible Pen Component Sets when building display pieces or hybrid ring blanks. For dramatic effect, mount finished calls on Pen display stands & COA holders so the orange resin catches the light.

Explore complementary materials such as Mica powders for custom resin pours or browse the full Maneater alligator jawbone line for contrasting textures. Related BC-series siblings including BC-0007, BC-0009, and BC-0010 offer alternate colorways within the same stabilized burl family. Additional options appear in call-blanks and pen-blanks collections. These blanks are not food-safe until properly finished. Enable reviews on your store to share turning results and finished calls made from BC-0008. The combination of stabilized burl and vivid resin delivers both performance and visual impact that call makers return for again and again.

Sierra embedded blanks with Vietnam War Bell Huey UH-1F Iroquois metal material.

All blanks will come with one COA per blank.
COAs are 4" x 6" card stock with foil COA seal.

The Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" is a utility military helicopter designed and produced by the American aerospace company Bell Helicopter. It is the first member of the prolific Huey family, as well as the first turbine-powered helicopter in service with the United States military.

Development of the Iroquois started in the early 1950s, a major impetus being a requirement issued by the United States Army for a new medical evacuation and utility helicopter. An initial production contract for 100 HU-1As was issued in March 1960. In response to criticisms over the rotorcraft's power, Bell quickly developed multiple models furnished with more powerful engine.

The Iroquois was first used in combat operations during the Vietnam War, the first examples being deployed in March 1962. It was used for various purposes, including conducting general support, air assault, cargo transport, aeromedical evacuation, search and rescue, electronic warfare, and ground attack missions. Armed Iroquois gunships carried a variety of weapons, including rockets, grenade launchers, and machine guns, and were often modified in the field to suit specific operations. The United States Air Force deployed its Iroquois to Vietnam, using them to conduct reconnaissance operations, psychological warfare, and other support roles.

The Iroquois was originally designated HU-1, hence the Huey nickname, which has remained in common use, despite the official redesignation to UH-1 in 1962.

Bell Helicopters was the winner of a 1963 United States Air Force competition for a support helicopter for use on its missile bases. The resulting UH-1F had the shorter cabin of the "Bravo" Huey, but with a longer tail boom, rotor and transmission. The iconic aircraft of the Vietnam War with the distinctive "wop-wop" of the Huey's rotor blades stirs the memories of the generation that came of age during the turbulent 1960s.

The UH-1F was introduced into the USAF inventory in February 1964. The USAF took delivery of 119 Huey with production ending in 1967. Many of the aircraft served in southeast Asia with the 20th Special Operations Squadron and some were converted to the armed UH-1P configuration.

These blanks are embedded with a small piece of the original material from the aircraft. The piece is approximately 1/8” square/round in size. The embedded components are positioned over a starburst silhouette of the aircraft’s outline.

Gator Chomp into Swamp Supremacy – Snag Your Gator Grit Gem!

Picture chomping a victory snap with a pen slashed from seats that quaked in The Swamp's steamy roar, or uncorking SEC toasts with a stopper surging in orange-and-blue blaze. From championship rings reliving Heisman hauls to tailgate-tough knives carving gator-tail feasts—each relic is lathe-forged from bona fide stadium shards, snapping playoff pandemonium into heirloom hunts. Rally your row and let the Gators' ferocious frenzy electrify every twist!

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium: Gators' Swampy Shrine of Gridiron Greatness

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, infamously dubbed "The Swamp," lurks in the humid heart of the University of Florida's Gainesville campus, a gator-infested fortress of Southeastern Conference fury since its muddy inception. Construction churned the soil on April 16, 1930, birthing Florida Field as a $200,000 concrete cradle that flung open on October 27 with a capacity of 21,769—dedicated in a sellout spectacle on November 8 when the Gators mauled Alabama 20-0 before 21,769 sun-soaked fans, called by budding broadcaster Red Barber. Renamed in 1989 for tireless Gator booster and citrus magnate Ben Hill Griffin Jr., whose philanthropy fueled expansions, it embodies UF's relentless rise from 1906 Fleming Field frolics to national powerhouse status.

Swelling from humble stands to a thunderous 88,548 capacity on lush natural grass (standard 120x53-yard SEC battlefield), The Swamp brews bone-jarring intimacy where the furthest fan feels the turf tremble—dimensions a pitcher's dream: 83 feet to foul poles, 360 to alleys, 360 to center under those iconic palms. Expansions roared in epochs: 1950's west-side surge to 40,116, 1966's east stands ballooning to 62,800, 1982's south end zone skyboxes hitting 72,000, and 1991's $17 million north end zone vaulting to 83,000 for record roars like 85,461 vs. FSU. Later lifts—1990's grass revival, 2003's $50 million luxury lofts and suites, 2009's HD video walls, 2012's west concourse glow-up—fuse swampy soul with state-of-the-art snap, all sans state funds from private Gator grit.

Fortress of the Florida Gators for nine decades, The Swamp has swallowed three national championships (1996, 2006, 2008—all home-fueled feasts), 10 SEC titles, and Heisman heroes like Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), and Tim Tebow (2007) amid 800+ victories and sellout streaks since 1984. Steve Spurrier's 1991 quip—"True dat: A swamp is where Gators live"—ignited its mythic moniker, pulsing with "Gator Bait" chants, 2011 Heisman statues, and upsets like the 1990s FSU fumbles. Beyond gridiron glory, it hosts concerts, graduations, and cattle shows, etching Gainesville's humid heartbeat into lore. As Gators grapple for gridiron gold, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium endures as a steamy testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless terror in college football's bayou.

Benchmark International Arena: Where Lightning Strikes Gold

Benchmark International Arena crackles at Tampa's downtown core, the high-voltage hub of Bay-area buzz. Debuting October 20, 1996, as the Ice Palace, it ignited with the Lightning's 5-2 smackdown of the New York Rangers, after a circus spectacle opener. Evolving through names like St. Pete Times Forum (2002–2012), Tampa Bay Times Forum (2012–2014), and Amalie Arena (2014–2025), it now shines as Benchmark International Arena since 2025, mirroring Tampa's dynamic ascent via a merger-firm partnership.

Packing 19,092 hockey-crazed souls, it brews a cauldron-close vibe on the NHL's 200x85-foot ice slab, sparking edge-of-your-seat rushes. Built for $139 million, it leveled up with a $35M 2012 glow-up for the RNC—unveiling a colossal 28x50-foot video board (North America's biggest), plush plazas, suite swank, skyline decks, and eco-gardens under owner Jeff Vinik's bold blueprint, cementing its elite-edge status.

Bastion of the Tampa Bay Lightning, it's cradled three Stanley Cup conquests (2004, 2020, 2021—all home-ice seals), NHL All-Stars in '99 and '18, and 27+ playoff sagas. The Bolts' blitzkrieg era, laced with OT magic and dynasty dashes, ignites in this thunder-dome. Multi-sport maven too—NCAA Final Fours, UFC brawls, WWE wars, star-studded shows—it pulses Tampa's tough-love heartbeat. As Lightning hunts more lore, Benchmark International Arena blazes on as a forge of fury, feats, and fan-fueled frenzy in pro puck.

$13.00

Big Leaf Maple Burl Hybrid Pen Blank BL-0002

Discover the rich character of premium Big Leaf Maple Burl stabilized and cast in clear resin for this BL-0002 hybrid pen blank. Makers appreciate the dramatic figuring and natural color variation that emerges during turning, creating one-of-a-kind writing instruments with depth and warmth.

Material Specifications & Dimensions

Each BL-0002 blank measures approximately 13/16" x 13/16" x 5-1/4" and combines kiln-dried Big Leaf Maple Burl Wood with a durable resin matrix. The hybrid construction provides excellent stability, reducing the risk of cracking during turning or finishing. The burl sections display tight, interlocking grain patterns while the resin adds translucency and protection.

Compatibility & Turning Tips

These blanks work well with most pen kits, including slimlines, midlines, and larger fountain pens. They turn cleanly on carbide or HSS tools at moderate speeds. Apply thin CA or sanding sealer between grits for a glass-smooth surface before final polishing with plastic polish or wax. The resin portion accepts the same finishes as the wood, ensuring uniform results.

Suggested Project Ideas

Classic rollerball or fountain pens showcasing the burl contrast
Small knife scales or key fobs highlighting the hybrid pattern
Custom executive gifts paired with matching letter openers

Experiment with different kit finishes to emphasize either the wood tones or the resin clarity. Additional ideas include bottle stoppers, ring blanks, and small turned boxes where the unique flame patterns of the Big Leaf Maple Burl Wood can be highlighted against the clear resin for striking visual appeal. The material's stability also makes it suitable for watch part blanks or steampunk-style projects.

Care & Safety

Store blanks in a stable environment away from direct sunlight to prevent resin yellowing. Always wear proper PPE when turning, including eye protection and dust masks. Sanding resin produces fine particles—work in a well-ventilated area.

Big Leaf Maple Burl & Swirl Wood Blanks [Stabilized] - Premium Pacific Northwest

Product Specifications

Blank Sizes: Each pen blank is a minimum of 5" long × 3/4" × 3/4" square.

Material: Genuine Big Leaf Maple Burl & Swirl (Acer macrophyllum) — Fully Stabilized.

Material Story

These exceptional pen blanks are crafted from premium **Big Leaf Maple Burl and Swirl** — one of the most beautiful and highly sought-after figured woods in North America. Each piece displays stunning, chaotic swirls, eyes, and intricate burl patterns that create a mesmerizing visual effect.

Because raw Big Leaf Maple burl is often unstable due to its wild grain and density variations, we fully stabilize every blank using a premium resin process. This stabilization penetrates deep into the wood, making it rock-solid, resistant to cracking or warping, and much easier to turn while beautifully enhancing the natural colors and figure.

The result is a stable, high-contrast blank with incredible chatoyance and depth that turns smoothly and finishes to a stunning, glass-like polish. These blanks are perfect for creating show-stopping pens, knife handles, and other fine turned projects.

About Big Leaf Maple Burl Wood

Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum), also known as Oregon Maple, is native to the Pacific Northwest of North America — primarily along the coast from California through British Columbia. It is one of the largest maple species in the world and is world-renowned for producing some of the most spectacular burl and swirl figure available.

The burl formations occur where the tree experiences stress or injury, resulting in dense clusters of dormant buds that create highly figured wood with dramatic swirling grain, birdseye, and lace-like patterns. Colors typically range from creamy white to golden-tan with darker highlights that pop beautifully after stabilization and finishing.

Stabilized Big Leaf Maple Burl is a favorite among serious woodturners because it combines extreme beauty with excellent workability. The stabilization process locks in the figure, prevents movement, and enhances the natural chatoyance (the way light dances across the grain).

Owning a stabilized Big Leaf Maple Burl blank means you’re working with a true natural masterpiece — a rare piece of Pacific Northwest hardwood that transforms into one-of-a-kind, museum-quality turned pieces.
