The Great Chicago Fire was a conflagration that burned in the American city of Chicago during October 8–10, 1871. The fire killed approximately 300 people, destroyed roughly 3.3 square miles of the city including over 17,000 structures, and left more than 100,000 residents homeless. The fire began in a neighborhood southwest of the city center. A long period of hot, dry, windy conditions, and the wooden construction prevalent in the city, led to the conflagration. The fire leapt the south branch of the Chicago River and destroyed much of central Chicago and then leapt the main branch of the river, consuming the Near North Side.

The fire is claimed to have started at about 8:30 p.m. on October 8, in or around a small barn belonging to the O'Leary family that bordered the alley behind 137 W. DeKoven Street. The shed next to the barn was the first building to be consumed by the fire. City officials never determined the cause of the blaze, but the rapid spread of the fire due to a long drought in that year's summer, strong winds from the southwest, and the rapid destruction of the water pumping system, explain the extensive damage of the mainly wooden city structures.

The wood sourced for this item was removed by Hans Wilkins during a November 2013 renovation of the third floor, top floor, of the Coach House off alley in the teens block of East Division Chicago, IL. This structure was the only one on the block to survive the Great Chicago Fire. The wood is distributed and certified by Hardin Penworks, LLC.

Curly Torrified Maple Pen Blanks – 5" × ¾" Square minimum

Scientific Name: Acer spp. (primarily Acer saccharum or Acer rubrum)
Common Names: Curly Torrified Maple, Roasted Curly Maple, Flame Maple, Tiger Maple

Origin

Curly Maple grows across the temperate forests of North America, with the finest figured stock most commonly sourced from the Midwest and Eastern United States and parts of Canada. The distinctive curly figure is a natural genetic variation found in both hard and soft maples.

Description & Characteristics

Curly Torrified Maple combines the stunning wavy, rippled grain of traditional Curly Maple with the benefits of torrefaction (thermal modification). The "curl" creates a beautiful three-dimensional chatoyancy that shimmers and "pops" under finish, while the torrefaction process removes moisture and sugars, resulting in a more stable, lighter, and slightly caramel-toned blank.

These premium 5" × ¾" square pen blanks are pre-squared, carefully selected for strong curl, and ready for turning into elegant single-barrel or slimline pens that showcase dramatic figure and excellent stability.

Turning Tips for Curly Torrified Maple

• Figure & Chatoyancy: The curly pattern produces a striking 3D shimmering effect that really comes alive with a high-gloss finish.
• Stability: Torrefaction makes the wood more dimensionally stable and resistant to warping or cracking compared to regular maple.
• Tools & Technique: Turns cleanly with sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools. Use light cuts to minimize tear-out, especially around the curly grain. Moderate lathe speeds work best.
• Sanding & Finishing: Sands smoothly and takes CA glue, friction polish, shellac, or most pen finishes exceptionally well. The torrefied surface often polishes to a deep, warm glow.
• Dust & Safety: Produces fine dust — always use good dust extraction and a respirator.

Perfect for pen turners who want eye-catching figure with improved stability and a warm, aged appearance. Curly Torrified Maple creates pens that look and feel premium.

Hearnes Center: The Tigers' Historic Hardwood Haven of Basketball Dominance

Hearnes Center, a 13,611-seat multi-purpose arena on the University of Missouri campus in Columbia, Missouri, opened in 1972 as the new home for Tigers basketball, replacing the outdated Brewer Fieldhouse. Named after former Missouri Governor Warren E. Hearnes (a 1952 Mizzou graduate), the $10.75 million facility quickly became one of college basketball's most intimidating venues under legendary coach Norm Stewart.

Originally featuring a Tartan synthetic surface, a wooden maple hardwood floor was installed over it by the end of the 1970s, creating the iconic playing court later named Norm Stewart Court. This floor hosted Missouri Tigers men's and women's basketball from the late 1970s until the programs moved to Mizzou Arena in 2004. During its prime, Hearnes was a fortress, powering Big Eight and early Big 12 success, fierce Border War rivalries with Kansas, multiple NCAA Tournament appearances including Elite Eight runs, and an incredible home record of 405-72 for men's basketball over 32 seasons.

The arena continued hosting volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics, and track events after 2004. In September 2018, a water main break flooded the facility, causing significant damage and necessitating the full removal and replacement of the hardwood floor—preserving authentic pieces of this historic surface for limited artifacts. Hearnes Center remains a cherished symbol of Mizzou's basketball heritage, where Stormin' Norm Stewart built a powerhouse program and fans created an electric, intimidating atmosphere for decades.

The Hollywood Bowl is known for its band shell, a distinctive set of concentric arches that graced the site from 1929 through 2003, before being replaced with a larger one beginning in the 2004 season. The shell is set against the backdrop of the Hollywood Hills and the famous Hollywood Sign to the northeast.

The "bowl" refers to the shape of the concave hillside the amphitheater is carved into. The Bowl is owned by the County of Los Angeles and is the home of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the host venue to hundreds of musical events each year.

It is located at 2301 North Highland Ave, west of the (former) French Village, north of Hollywood Blvd. and the Hollywood - Highland subway station, and south of Route 101.

Honey Locust wood pen blanks from Stadium Pen Blanks deliver reliable performance for turners seeking a dense, attractive hardwood. This North American species offers a warm golden-brown tone with subtle grain patterns that polish to a rich luster, making it ideal for custom pens, bottle stoppers, and small turned projects.

Material Specifications

Each blank measures approximately 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch by 5 inches, sized for standard pen kits and mandrel setups. Honey Locust is a dense hardwood with excellent stability once dried, providing clean cuts and minimal tear-out during turning. The wood accepts finishes evenly, including CA glue, friction polish, and oil-based coatings.

Compatibility & Turning Notes

These blanks pair well with most resin casting projects when used as hybrid cores. They turn smoothly on standard lathes with carbide or HSS tools. Pre-drilling is recommended for tube insertion to avoid splitting. Compatible with common pen kits from manufacturers like PSI and Berea. Avoid excessive heat during sanding to preserve natural color.

Project Ideas

Use Honey Locust for executive rollerball pens, slimline ballpoints, or ring blanks. Makers also create bottle stoppers, key fobs, and small tool handles. The wood's durability suits everyday carry items while its warm tones complement both modern and traditional designs.

Care & Safety

Store blanks in a climate-controlled area to maintain moisture content. Wear appropriate dust protection when turning or sanding. Honey Locust is non-toxic but always follow standard workshop safety practices.

Gordon Howe OC was a Canadian professional ice hockey player. From 1946 to 1980, he played 26 seasons in the NHL and six seasons in the World Hockey Association; his first 25 seasons were spent with the Detroit Red Wings. Nicknamed "Mr. Hockey", Howe is often considered the most complete player to ever play the game and one of the greatest of all time. At his retirement, his 801 goals, 1049 assists, and 1850 total points were all NHL records that stood until they were broken by Wayne Gretzky, who himself has been a major champion of Howe's legacy. A 23-time NHL All-Star, he still holds the NHL record for seasons played, and his all-time NHL games played record of 1,767 was only surpassed in 2021 by Patrick Marleau. In 2017, Howe was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players".

He became the namesake of the "Gordie Howe hat trick": a goal, an assist and a fight in the same game, though he only recorded two such games in his career. He was the inaugural recipient of the NHL Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.
