Buckeye Burl Resin Hybrid Pen Blank BH-0003
Discover the rich character of premium Buckeye burl stabilized and cast in clear resin for this BH-0003 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 BH-0003 blank measures approximately 13/16" x 13/16" x 5-1/4" and combines kiln-dried Buckeye burl 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.
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.

Wood Species & Blank Sizes
These pen blanks are crafted from genuine Acacia, a dense and attractive domestic hardwood prized by turners for its warm golden tones and subtle grain. Each blank measures a minimum of 5" long × 3/4" × 3/4" square, sized perfectly for standard pen kits. Acacia offers fine, straight grain with occasional figuring that polishes to a rich luster, making every finished piece unique. Native to North America, this species provides reliable performance for makers seeking a stable domestic hardwood option.
Turning & Finishing Notes
Acacia turns cleanly on standard lathes with carbide or HSS tools, showing minimal tear-out thanks to its stable, even texture. It accepts CA glue, friction polish, and oil-based finishes evenly. Pre-drill for tube insertion to prevent splitting. For best results, sand progressively and avoid excessive heat that could darken the natural color. Pair these blanks with Craft Coat for a durable, high-gloss finish that enhances the wood's natural beauty.
Project Ideas
Ideal for slimline ballpoints, rollerball pens, and bottle stoppers. Makers also use Acacia for ring blanks, key fobs, and small tool handles. Its warm tones complement both modern and traditional designs. Explore Pen blanks for more options or Compatible Pen Component Sets to complete your project. Display finished pens on Pen display stands & COA holders.
Care & Safety
Store in a climate-controlled area to maintain moisture content. Wear dust protection during turning and sanding. Acacia is non-toxic but always follow workshop safety practices. All blanks are cut fresh to order. Discover more in our Premium Hardwood Blanks collection.
African Blackwood Pen Blanks – 5" × ¾" Square
Scientific Name: Dalbergia melanoxylon
Common Names: African Blackwood, Mpingo, Grenadilla
Origin
African Blackwood is native to the seasonally dry savannas and miombo woodlands of East and Southern Africa. It grows from Senegal in the west to Eritrea in the east, and south through Tanzania, Mozambique, and into parts of South Africa. The highest-quality turning stock today primarily comes from southeastern Tanzania and northern Mozambique.
Description & Characteristics
One of the densest and hardest woods in the world (Janka hardness ≈ 3,670 lbf), African Blackwood is prized by pen turners for its exceptional stability, tight grain, and stunning appearance. The heartwood ranges from deep chocolate brown to jet black, often with subtle purple or reddish streaks that create beautiful contrast under a high-gloss finish.
These premium 5" × ¾" square pen blanks are pre-squared, kiln-dried, and ready for turning into elegant single-barrel or slimline pens.
Turning Tips for African Blackwood
- Extreme Density: Turns slower than most woods but delivers crisp, clean cuts with excellent detail retention.
- Tools: Sharp carbide tools are highly recommended — they slice cleanly with minimal tear-out and stay sharp longer. High-speed steel also works well with light cuts.
- Technique: Use moderate lathe speeds and light passes. Allow the blank to cool between grits when sanding to prevent heat buildup.
- Finish: Takes CA glue, friction polish, shellac, and most pen finishes beautifully. Its natural oils help produce a deep, glass-like shine.
- Dust & Safety: Produces fine dust — always use strong dust extraction and wear a good respirator. Many turners enjoy its pleasant, slightly sweet aroma while turning.
Perfect for both experienced turners seeking heirloom-quality pens and ambitious beginners wanting a premium challenge. African Blackwood creates pens that feel substantial and look timeless.

Alex Rodriguez Park at Mark Light Field: A Beacon of College Baseball Excellence

Opened on February 16, 1973, this iconic venue marked its inaugural game with a thrilling 5-1 victory over Florida State, drawing 4,235 enthusiastic fans who witnessed a rare triple play. Originally named Mark Light Field after a dedicated University of Miami supporter, the stadium honors the legacy of George Light, whose contributions funded its construction.
With a capacity of 5,000 spectators, the park offers intimate views of the action, featuring dimensions that challenge hitters: 330 feet to left and right fields, 365 feet to the gaps, and a deep 400 feet to center. Its turf and lighting have evolved through renovations, ensuring top-tier play. A pivotal $3.9 million donation from former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, a Hurricanes alum and 14-time All-Star, spurred major upgrades from 2007 to 2009. These enhancements included a new hitting backstop, advanced sound system, and improved fan amenities, solidifying its status as a premier college baseball facility.
Home to the Miami Hurricanes, the park has hosted 27 NCAA Regionals since 1977, fostering national championships and legendary moments. The Hurricanes' storied program, with multiple College World Series titles, thrives here amid the electric atmosphere.

Muhammad Ali was an American professional boxer, activist, entertainer and philanthropist. Nicknamed The Greatest, he is regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time. Ali was born on January 17, 1942 and raised in Louisville, KY as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. before later changing his name to Muhammad Ali.
He began training as an amateur boxer at age 12. At 18, he won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics and turned professional later that year. He won the world heavyweight championship from Sonny Liston in a major upset on February 25, 1964, at age 22. Ali was involved in several historic boxing matches and feuds. Most notably were his fights with Joe Frazier, the Fight of the Century and the Thrilla in Manila, and his fight with George Foreman, The Rumble in the Jungle. Ali was a leading heavyweight boxer of the 20th century, and he remains the only three-time lineal champion of that division. His joint records of beating 21 boxers for the world heavyweight title and winning 14 unified title bouts stood for 35 years.
Ali retired from boxing in 1981 and focused on religion, philanthropy, and activism. His boxing record was 61 total fights with 56 wins, 37 wins by KO, and 5 losses. In 1984, he made public his diagnosis of Parkinson's syndrome, which some reports attribute to boxing-related injuries. Ali died June 3, 2016, age 74.

Allen Fieldhouse is an indoor arena in the central United States, on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, Kansas. It is home of the Kansas Jayhawks men's and women's basketball teams. The arena is named after Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, a former player and head coach for the Jayhawks whose tenure lasted 39 years. Allen Fieldhouse is one of college basketball's most historically significant and prestigious buildings, with 37 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Tournament games having been hosted at the center. The actual playing surface has been named the James Naismith Court, in honor of basketball's inventor, who established KU's basketball program and served as the Jayhawks' first coach from 1898 to 1907.
Allen Fieldhouse has also hosted several NCAA tournament regionals, NBA exhibition games, and occasional concerts such as The Beach Boys, Elton John, James Taylor, Sonny and Cher, Leon Russell, Alice Cooper, ZZ Top, Tina Turner, Harry Belafonte, Henry Mancini, The Doobie Brothers, Kansas, and Bob Hope, as well as speakers, including former President Bill Clinton in 2004, Senator Robert F. Kennedy (which drew over 20,000) in March 1968, and anarchist Abbie Hoffman in 1970.
ESPN The Magazine named Allen Fieldhouse the loudest college basketball arena in the country. The arena broke the Guinness World Record for loudest roar on February 13, 2017, against West Virginia at 130.4 dB. The prior record of 126.4 dB at Lexington's Rupp Arena which lasted less than three weeks also had many Kansas fans present as the Jayhawks beat the #4 Wildcats 79-73 in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
Allen Fieldhouse is often considered one of the best home court advantages in men's college basketball. The Jayhawks have won over 70 percent of their games in Allen Fieldhouse, losing only a little over 100 games in its over 60-year history. Under current head coach Bill Self, the Jayhawks have had three home court winning streaks over 30 games and two streaks that have reached over 50 games.

The History of Allen Fieldhouse
Allen Fieldhouse, often called the “Cathedral of College Basketball,” is one of the most storied and intimidating arenas in the world. Located on the University of Kansas campus in Lawrence, it opened on March 1, 1955, and was dedicated with a Jayhawk victory over rival Kansas State (77-66) before a capacity crowd of 17,228 fans.
Named after the legendary Dr. Forrest C. “Phog” Allen — a pioneer of the game who played for basketball inventor James Naismith and coached at KU for 39 seasons — the Fieldhouse sits on James Naismith Court. It has served as home to the Kansas Jayhawks for over 70 years, hosting countless memorable games, conference titles, and NCAA tournament runs.
Known for its passionate fans and electric atmosphere, Allen Fieldhouse has been praised as one of the greatest venues in American sports. Under coaches like Bill Self, it has become nearly unbeatable at home, helping power the Jayhawks to multiple Big 12 championships and deep NCAA runs.
Owning a piece of the original Home Locker Room bench wood means you hold a tangible fragment of Kansas basketball history — a place where future NBA stars, Olympic athletes, and Hall of Famers have sat, prepared, and dreamed before stepping onto the court.

Ribbit into Horned Frog Glory – Snag Your Gridiron Gem!
Picture spiking a football with a pen forged from seats that rumbled with Frog frenzy at Amon G. Carter, or toasting touchdowns with a stopper soaked in purple pride. From blingy rings replaying Rose Bowl rushes to tailgate-ready knives carving up victory feasts—each artifact is lathe-born from true stadium scraps, hopping game-day thunder into heirloom hops. Level up your lair and unleash the Horned Frogs' fierce leap in every craft!
Amon G. Carter Stadium: Frog Fortress of Gridiron Greatness
Amon G. Carter Stadium anchors the Texas Christian University campus in Fort Worth, a purple heartbeat of Horned Frog spirit. Ground broke in 1929, and it roared to life on October 11, 1930, with a dominant 40-0 inaugural thrashing of the University of Arkansas before 22,000 roaring fans. Named for Fort Worth publishing titan and civic booster Amon G. Carter Sr., whose generosity fueled its birth, the venue instantly became a symbol of TCU's bold ambitions and unyielding community ties.
From its original 22,000 seats, the stadium swelled through expansions—hitting 30,500 in 1948, 37,000 by 1953, and a towering 46,000 with the 1956 upper deck crowned by a massive "TCU" press box. Today, at 47,000 capacity on Moncrief Field's lush natural grass (standard 120x53-yard battlefield), it delivers bone-rattling intimacy. A game-changing $164 million rebuild from 2010-2012 razed and reborn the west side and north end zone with luxe suites and fan plazas, followed by a $118 million east-side surge in 2019, blending cutting-edge amenities with Frog heritage for peak play and passion.
Bastion of the TCU Horned Frogs since day one, Amon G. Carter has cradled national championship claims in 1935 and 1938, an undefeated 2010 miracle march to Fiesta Bowl glory, the 2014 Peach Bowl triumph, and a 2022 CFP semifinal sprint capped by another Fiesta feast. Hosting epic upsets like the 1992 Texas takedown and record crowds (53,294 vs. Colorado in 2023), it pulses with 90+ seasons of Southwest Conference clashes, Big 12 battles, and bowl-bound magic. More than a stadium, it's TCU's roaring soul—forging resilience, rivalries, and frog-leaping legacies in college football's grand tapestry.
