Cassell Coliseum is a 10,052-seat multi-purpose arena in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States, that opened in 1962. It is home to the Virginia Tech Hokies men's and women's basketball teams.
Built as a replacement for the much smaller War Memorial Gymnasium, the Coliseum's construction began in 1961. It was fully completed in December 1964 at a cost of $2.7 million.[3] It was designed by Carneal and Johnston (now Ballou Justice Upton Architects, Richmond, Va) and built by T.C. Brittain and Company of Decatur, Georgia. Originally just referred to as "the Coliseum," it was dedicated on September 17, 1977 to the late Stuart K. Cassell, former school business manager, first Vice President of Administration, and major supporter of the building of the arena.
The first game was on January 3, 1962 when the Hokies played Alabama. The Hokies won 91-67. Unfortunately, the crowd sat on the bare concrete risers to watch the game because the seats had not arrived.
In the early years of the Coliseum, the Hokies frequently saw capacity crowds pack the venue. However, student and alumni interest in basketball decreased in the 1990s due to the Hokies' lack of a stable basketball conference home (the Hokies were in three different conferences in nine seasons) and due to the success of the football team. Fan support has begun to gain momentum under coach Seth Greenberg and the school's recent move to the ACC. A raucous student section, nicknamed the "Cassell Guard," has helped transform the Coliseum into a difficult venue for opposing teams in an athletic conference ripe with intimidating basketball arenas.

Cactus League Crush – Nab Your Chase Diamond Dash!
Envision rattling a rally with a pen slashed from seats that sizzled under Chase's desert dome, or uncorking World Series toasts with a stopper surging in purple-teal blaze. From poolside rings reliving Randy's rocket to dugout-durable knives carving post-game prickly pear feasts—each gem is lathe-launched from authentic stadium shards, striking Schilling strikes into heirloom heat. Rally your row and let the D-backs' diamondback dash electrify every swing!
Chase Field: D-backs' Desert Dome of Diamond Domination
Chase Field gleams in the sun-baked sprawl of downtown Phoenix, a retractable-roof marvel anchoring Arizona's MLB dreams since its groundbreaking genesis. Conceived amid 1990s expansion fever to lure a franchise from the desert's dust, the $354 million behemoth—funded by a controversial 0.25% sales tax hike in 1994—broke ground on November 16, 1995, and soared open as Bank One Ballpark on March 31, 1998, with the expansion Arizona Diamondbacks blanking the New York Mets 2-0 before 50,179 fans under a partly cloudy sky—heralding Phoenix as a big-league oasis and the D-backs' inaugural roar.
Enveloping 48,686 diamond diehards in climate-controlled comfort on FieldTurf (natural grass since 2023), Chase brews hitter-friendly heat with dimensions a slugger's delight: 330 feet to left and right, 407 to center amid those iconic cacti silhouettes—pioneering the U.S.'s first retractable roof (Fredric C. Hamilton-designed, spanning 320 feet) to tame 110-degree temps. Facelifts flared: 2005's Chase rebrand, 2006's $6 million pool upgrades in right field (MLB's first), 2012's $5 million LED videoboard, 2018's $15 million concourse expansions, and 2023's turf-to-grass swap—blending retro charm with modern mojo via Maricopa County stewardship and D-backs' private infusions.
Sanctuary for the Arizona Diamondbacks since day one, Chase has cradled the 2001 World Series miracle (7-game thriller over Yankees, sealed by Luis Gonzalez's bloop), three NL West crowns (1998, 2001, 2007), Randy Johnson's five Cy Youngs (four here), and All-Star Games in 2011 amid 2,000+ home wins and record roars (49,180 vs. Dodgers in 2023). Pulsing with "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" echoes, swimming pool splashes, and desert night magic, it hosts concerts and conventions too. As D-backs chase more rings, Chase Field endures as a sun-soaked testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless desert diamond in MLB's sunbelt.

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

Material: Genuine American Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) — a classic, rich domestic hardwood.
Material Story
These beautiful pen blanks are crafted from premium **American Black Cherry**, one of the most beloved domestic hardwoods in North America. Known for its warm, rich reddish-brown color that deepens beautifully with age and exposure to light, Cherry develops a smooth, satiny luster that makes it look more expensive than almost any other wood.
With a fine, straight grain and smooth, even texture, Cherry turns exceptionally well and finishes to a gorgeous glow. The subtle color variations and occasional gum pockets add natural character that makes each pen unique and timeless.
Whether you're turning elegant everyday pens or high-end presentation pieces, Cherry delivers a refined, professional appearance that appeals to both traditional and modern tastes.
About Cherry Wood
American Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) is a premium native hardwood found throughout the eastern United States and Canada. It is highly valued by woodworkers for its stunning color and excellent working properties. Freshly cut cherry heartwood ranges from light pink to medium reddish-brown and naturally darkens over time into a deep, rich mahogany-like tone.
With a Janka hardness rating of approximately 950 lbf, Cherry is durable yet easy to turn and carve. It has a fine, straight grain with a smooth texture that accepts stains and finishes beautifully, though many prefer its natural color.
Cherry has been a favorite of furniture makers, cabinetmakers, and woodturners for generations. Its combination of beauty, workability, and availability has made it one of the most popular domestic hardwoods for fine pens, knife handles, furniture, and musical instruments.
Working with Cherry means creating with a true American classic — a warm, elegant wood that only gets more beautiful with time.

Blanks are from wood spokes salvaged from an original wood spoke wheels of a Chevrolet 490 (1916-1922)
Blanks are a minimum of 3/4" x 3/4"
All blanks will come with one COA per blank.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
The Chevrolet Series 490, produced from 1916 to 1922, was the marque's first mass-market success, propelling it to rival Ford's Model T. Launched in 1915 as the Model 490 (priced at $490), it symbolized affordability and reliability during the post-World War I boom. By 1920, over 1.5 million units had been sold, making Chevrolet a dominant force in American motoring.
Mechanically, the 1920 490 featured a 224-cubic-inch inline-four engine with solid valve lifters, three main bearings, and a Zenith double-jet carburetor, delivering 24 horsepower—outpacing the Model T's 20 hp. It boasted a three-speed selective sliding-gear transmission, contrasting Ford's two-speed planetary setup, on a 102- to 104-inch wheelbase for stable handling. Suspension used semi-elliptic leaf springs, with a cone clutch and 3/4-floating rear axle paired to a 3.63:1 spiral bevel differential.
Standard equipment evolved to include electric horns, speedometers, ammeters, and dome lights on closed bodies, enhancing practicality. Touring models, the most popular body style, seated five and epitomized open-air motoring. Priced around $800 by 1921, the 490's blend of value, durability, and innovation cemented Chevrolet's legacy as an accessible innovator.

These blanks are from the basketball flooring of Chicago Stadium where the Chicago Bulls won their first three NBA Championship. Michael Jordan played in these three championship seasons at Chicago.
Chicago Stadium was an indoor arena located in Chicago, Illinois that opened in 1929 and closed in 1994. It was the home of the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks and the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bulls.
In addition to the close-quartered, triple-tiered, boxy layout of the building, much of the loud, ringing noise of the fans could be attributed to the fabled 3,663-pipe Barton organ, boasting the world's largest theater organ console with 6 manuals (keyboards) and over 800 stops, and played by Al Melgard. Melgard played for decades during hockey games there, earning the Stadium the moniker "The Madhouse on Madison". For years, it was also known as "The Loudest Arena in the NBA", due to its barn-shaped features.
In the Stanley Cup semifinals of 1971, when the Blackhawks scored a series-clinching empty-net goal in Game 7 against the New York Rangers, CBS announcer Dan Kelly reported, "I can feel our broadcast booth shaking! That's the kind of place Chicago Stadium is right now!" The dressing rooms at the Stadium were placed underneath the seats, and the cramped corridor that led to the ice, with its twenty-two steps, became the stuff of legend. Legend has it a German Shepherd wandered the bowels at night as "the security team."
In the 1973 Stanley Cup Final against Montreal, Chicago owner Bill Wirtz had the NHL's first goal horn installed in the building, reportedly because he liked the sound of the horn on his yacht. This practice would, in the ensuing years, become almost commonplace in professional hockey.
Nancy Faust, organist for 40 years at Chicago White Sox games, also played indoors at the Stadium, at courtside for Chicago Bulls home games from 1976-84, and on the pipe organ for Chicago Blackhawks hockey there from 1985-89.
It also became traditional for Blackhawk fans to cheer loudly throughout the singing of the national anthems, especially when sung by Chicago favorite Wayne Messmer. Denizens of the second balcony often added sparklers and flags to the occasion. Arguably, the most memorable of these was the singing before the 1991 NHL All-Star Game, which took place during the Gulf War. This tradition has continued at the United Center. Longtime PA announcer Harvey Wittenberg had a unique monotone style: "Blackhawk goal scored by #9, Bobby Hull, unassisted, at 6:13."
In 1992, both the Blackhawks and the Bulls reached the finals in their respective leagues. The Blackhawks were swept in their finals by the Pittsburgh Penguins, losing at Chicago Stadium, while the Bulls won the second of their first of three straight NBA titles on their home floor against the Portland Trail Blazers. The next time the Bulls clinched the championship at home, was in the newly built United Center in 1996 (when they did so against the Seattle SuperSonics), their second season at the new arena, and the Blackhawks would not reach the Stanley Cup Finals again until 2010 (in which they defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in six games), their 16th season in the new building, although they won their first championship since 1961 in Philadelphia. The Blackhawks last won the Stanley Cup at the Stadium in 1938; they did not win the Cup again at home until 2015 at the United Center.

Rally your row and unleash the Sporting's relentless rush in every revolution!
Children's Mercy Park: Sporting KC's Soccer Sanctuary of Heartland Hustle
Children's Mercy Park anchors the bustling Village at Sports Park in Kansas City, Kansas, a soccer-specific shrine elevating Sporting Kansas City from shared-field nomads to MLS mainstays since its groundbreaking genesis. Conceived in 2007 amid the club's quest for a dedicated home after decades at Arrowhead Stadium and CommunityAmerica Ballpark, the $200+ million marvel—funded by private equity and public bonds—broke ground on January 20, 2010, under Populous architects aiming for urban modernism with fluid motion motifs. It ignited on June 9, 2011, with Sporting KC drawing 0-0 against the Chicago Fire before 18,467 fervent fans—christened Livestrong Sporting Park for Lance Armstrong's cancer-fighting foundation, evolving to Sporting Park (2013–2015) and Children's Mercy Park in 2016 via a $100 million, 10-year pediatric hospital pact, symbolizing KC's kick toward Soccer Capital status.
Encircling a compact 18,467 soccer souls on hybrid natural-synthetic turf (standard 120x75-yard MLS pitch), the venue brews bone-rattling intimacy with steep stands just 15 feet from touchlines—fostering fabled "Cauldron" chants amid those sweeping steel canopies and 360-degree concourses. Evolutions echoed: 2011's initial 18,500 swell, 2013's MLS Cup upgrades with premium suites and videoboards, 2017's $10 million sound system surge for US Open Cup glory, and 2020s' tech tweaks like LED lighting and app integrations—blending heartland hospitality with high-octane hustle, all while hosting 200+ events yearly in a 300-acre district laced with training grounds, youth academies, and tailgate zones.
Soccer-specific stronghold for Sporting Kansas City since inception, Children's Mercy has cradled two MLS Cup triumphs (2000 pre-park echoes in 2013's PK penalty over Real Salt Lake at home), the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup conquest (2-1 vs. New York Red Bulls), Eastern Conference finals in 2011 and 2012, and record roars like 21,650 for the 2011 playoff upset of Houston—pulsing with 500+ home wins, sellout streaks since 2011, and stars like Peter Vermes' vision and Johnny Russell's rockets. Beyond boots, it hosts USWNT friendlies, international qualifiers, and concerts, etching KC's cross-state camaraderie into lore. As Sporting chase more silverware, Children's Mercy Park endures as a testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless turf in MLS's midwestern marquee.

Philly Phaithful Frenzy – Nab Your Citizens Slugger Souvenir!
Picture belting a Broad Street bomb with a pen hewn from seats that boomed with Phillies passion at Citizens Bank, or uncorking WS parade toasts with a stopper surging in red-hot liberty. From Ashburn Alley rings reliving Utley's uprisings to bleacher-tough knives carving cheesesteak feasts—each heirloom is lathe-launched from authentic park plastic, ringing "High Hopes" harmonies into eternal emblems. Rally your row and let the Phils' gritty grind electrify every swing!
Citizens Bank Park: Phillies' South Philly Shrine of Slugger Supremacy
Citizens Bank Park crackles in the heart of Philadelphia's South Philly neighborhood, a modern mecca of MLB might replacing the multi-sport mire of Veterans Stadium. Conceived in the late 1990s amid fan fervor for a baseball-only bastion, the $458 million marvel—funded by a 1996 public referendum and private partnerships—broke ground on January 28, 2001, under HOK Sport (now Populous) architects evoking classic ballpark charm with red brick and iron accents. It burst open on April 12, 2004, with the Phillies topping the Reds 13-5 before 41,626 ecstatic fans under a sunny sky—heralding a new era of Phils pride and instantly dubbing CBP the "House That Chase Utley Built" for its hitter-happy confines.
Boasting a cozy 43,651 capacity on lush natural grass (standard 325-foot foul lines, 330 left, 330 right, 401 center alleys, 409 deep center), Citizens brews bone-rattling intimacy with the shortest right-field porch in MLB (330 feet, 21-foot walls) priming power alleys amid those iconic liberty bell scoreboards and Ashburn Alley eateries. Evolutions echoed: 2004's initial 43,500 swell, 2006's $10 million outfield seating surge, 2011's $12 million HD videoboard, 2018's $50 million concourse expansions with craft beer havens, and 2023's turf-to-grass revival—blending retro soul with state-of-the-art swing via Phillies' private infusions and city bonds.
Sanctuary for the Philadelphia Phillies since inaugural pitch, Citizens has cradled two World Series crowns (2008 home-clinched over Rays, echoes of 1980's parade), five NL East titles (2007-2011), Chase Utley's MVP magic, Bryce Harper's 2019 NL MVP, and All-Star Games in 2006 and 2023 amid 1,500+ home wins and sellout streaks. Record roars hit 45,839 for 2008's NLCS clinch, pulsing with "Sweet Caroline" singalongs, cheesesteak lines, and fireworks frenzies. Beyond bases, it hosts concerts and conventions, etching Philly's fighting spirit into lore. As Phils chase more rings, Citizens Bank Park endures as a red-brick testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless tailgating in MLB's marquee.
