Opened 88 years ago on October 4, 1930, the stadium seating capacity was nearly 60,000 for decades. More than 21,000 seats were added for the 1997 season, which increased the capacity to over 80,000. After the Campus Crossroads renovation, the seat number decreased to 77,622. The playing surface was changed to FieldTurf in 2014, after 84 seasons on natural grass.

The Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, or Oakland Coliseum for short, is a multi-purpose stadium in Oakland, California, United States, which is home to the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball (MLB). The stadium opened in 1966 and was the last remaining stadium in the United States shared by professional football and baseball teams having done so from 1968 until 2019. From 1966 until 1981 and again from 1995 until 2019, the stadium was home of the Oakland Raiders of the National Football League. It was also the home of the Oakland Invaders of the United States Football League from 1983 to 1985. The Coliseum was also home to some games of the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer in 2008–2009 and hosted games of the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum complex consists of the stadium and the neighboring Oakland Arena.

The Coliseum has 6,300 club seats, 2,700 of which are available for Athletics games, 143 luxury suites, 125 of which are available for Athletics games, and a variable seating capacity of 46,867 (or 55,945 without tarps) for baseball and 63,132 for soccer. It has a seating capacity of 56,057 for football as of 2019. In seating capacity, Oakland Coliseum is the eighth-largest MLB stadium.

While an NFL venue, the stadium was the second-smallest NFL stadium, larger only than Dignity Health Sports Park, the temporary home of the Los Angeles Chargers.

On April 3, 2017, Opening Day, the Athletics dedicated the Coliseum's playing surface as Rickey Henderson Field in honor of MLB Hall of Famer and former Athletic Rickey Henderson.

Ohio Stadium, also known as the Horseshoe, the Shoe, and the House That Harley Built, is an American football stadium in Columbus, Ohio, on the campus of The Ohio State University. Its primary purpose is the home venue of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team; it also serves as the site for the university's Spring Commencement ceremonies each May.

From 1996 to 1998, Ohio Stadium was the home venue for the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer prior to the opening of Columbus Crew Stadium in 1999. The stadium also was the home venue for the OSU track and field teams from 1923-2001. In addition to athletics, Ohio Stadium is also a concert venue, with U2, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and Metallica among the many acts to have played at the venue.

The stadium opened in 1922 as a replacement for Ohio Field and had a seating capacity of 66,210. In 1923, a cinder running track was added that was later upgraded to an all-weather track. Seating capacity gradually increased over the years and reached a total of 91,470 possible spectators in 1991. Beginning in 2000, the stadium was renovated and expanded in several phases, removing the track and adding additional seating, which raised the capacity to 101,568 by 2001 and to 102,329 in 2007. In 2014, additional seating was added in the end zone, raising the official capacity to 104,944. Another renovation to add more luxury suites began in 2017 and will eventually lead to a decrease of 2,600 seats. It is the largest stadium by capacity in the state of Ohio, and the third largest on-campus football stadium in the United States. Ohio Stadium was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service on March 22, 1974.

Oldsmobile was a brand of American automobiles produced for most of its existence by General Motors. Originally established as "Olds Motor Vehicle Company" by Ransom E. Olds in 1897, it produced over 35 million vehicles, including at least 14 million built at its Lansing, Michigan factory alone. During its time as a division of General Motors, Oldsmobile slotted into the middle of GM's five divisions above Chevrolet, and Pontiac, but below Buick, and Cadillac, and was noted for its groundbreaking technology and designs.

Over 1 million Oldsmobiles were sold annually 1983-1986 but by the 1990s, the division was facing growing competition from premium import brands and sales declined. When shut down in 2004, Oldsmobile was the oldest surviving American automobile marque, and one of the oldest in the world, after Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Skoda, and Tatra.

In the 1930s, Oldsmobile produced two body styles of automobile, the 6-cylinder Series F and the longer 8-cylinder Series L. Wooden artillery style wheels were standard features, but the wire wheels were optional equipment at the time of the original purchase.

The early 1930's was a difficult time for automobile manufacturers due to the Great Depression. The Oldsmobile F-31 was a suitable option for many due to its relatively low sticker price and additional rumble seat which could carry luggage or additional passengers.

These blanks are made from the hickory wooden wheel spokes of a 1931 Oldsmobile Model 30 F-31. The wood is certified and distributed by Hardin Penworks, LLC. This material is guaranteed to be 100% Authentic.

Osage Orange Pen Blanks – 5" × ¾" Square

Scientific Name: Maclura pomifera
Common Names: Osage Orange, Hedge Apple, Bodark, Horse Apple

Origin

Osage Orange is native to the south-central United States, primarily found in the Red River Valley region of Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. It was historically planted widely as living fences and windbreaks across the Midwest and eastern U.S. The finest turning stock today is typically sourced from mature trees in Oklahoma, Texas, and surrounding states.

Description & Characteristics

Osage Orange is one of the most striking and durable woods available to pen turners. Freshly cut heartwood ranges from bright golden yellow to vivid orange, often darkening to a rich amber or golden brown with age and exposure to light. It is extremely dense and heavy with a tight, interlocked grain that gives finished pens a bold, warm glow.

These premium 5" × ¾" square pen blanks are pre-squared, kiln-dried, and carefully selected for color and density, making them ideal for turning into eye-catching single-barrel or slimline pens that develop beautiful character over time.

Turning Tips for Osage Orange

• Extreme Density: Very heavy and hard (Janka hardness around 2,040 lbf). It turns slower than softer woods but rewards patience with crisp, clean results.
• Tools & Technique: Sharp carbide tools are recommended for best performance and minimal tear-out. Take light cuts at moderate lathe speeds.
• Color Stability: The vibrant orange color will darken naturally over time when exposed to light — many turners love this aging character.
• Sanding & Finishing: Sands smoothly and takes CA glue, friction polish, shellac, or most pen finishes beautifully, producing a deep, lustrous shine.
• Dust & Safety: Produces fine, bright yellow dust — always use strong dust extraction and wear a good respirator. Many turners note a pleasant, mild citrus-like scent while turning.

Perfect for pen turners who want bold color, exceptional durability, and a unique look that improves with age. Osage Orange creates pens with a warm, vibrant personality that stands out in any collection.

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, also known as Owen Field or The Palace on the Prairie, is the on-campus football facility on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma, United States, that serves as the home of the Oklahoma Sooners football team. The official seating capacity of the stadium, following renovations before the start of the 2019 season, is 80,126, making it the 23rd largest stadium in the world, the 15th largest college stadium in the United States and the second largest in the Big 12 Conference, behind Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas at Austin.

The stadium is a bowl-shaped facility with its long axis oriented north/south, with both the north and south ends enclosed. The south end has only been enclosed since the 2015-2016 off-season, when it was renovated as part of a $160 million project. Visitor seating is in the south end zone and the southern sections of the east side. The student seating sections are in the east stands, surrounding the 350-member Pride of Oklahoma band which sits in section 29, between the 20- and 35-yard lines. The Sooners' bench was once located on the east side with the students, but the home bench was moved to the west side in the mid-1990s.

Ownby Stadium was a stadium in the University Park suburb of Dallas, Texas. It was the home of the Southern Methodist University Mustang football team. In late 1998, the stadium was demolished to build Gerald J. Ford Stadium at the site.

Named for Jordon Ownby, the stadium was built at the south end of the campus. There was controversy at the time of the stadium's inception, as the school had spent the gift from Ownby on a stadium (per his wishes) rather than a full-sized library, which the school did not have at the time.

As the Mustangs rose to prominence in the 1930s, they began scheduling an increasing number of games at the much larger Cotton Bowl, and finally moved there on a permanent basis in 1948, while later moving to Texas Stadium. However, after massive rules violations resulted in the NCAA handing down the "death penalty" in 1987, SMU officials decided to move football games back to a heavily renovated Ownby Stadium.

From 1976 to 1979 the chief tenant at Ownby was the Dallas Tornado of the North American Soccer League.

The 23,783-seat stadium consisted of four grandstands, one on each side, with the west (home) side being larger than the rest. In late 1998, the stadium was demolished to make way for Gerald J. Ford Stadium, which stands on the same site.

Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, MI. The first Packard automobiles were produced Warren, OH in 1899, and the 3,500,000 sq ft Packard Auto Plant was built in 1907.

Packard was founded by James Ward Packard, his brother William and their partner, George Lewis Weiss, in the city of Warren, OH, where 400 Packard automobiles were built at their factory on Dana Street Northeast, from 1899 to 1903. Packard's first car was built in Warren, Ohio, on November 6, 1899.

The Packard Automotive Plant is a former automobile-manufacturing factory in Detroit, MI, where luxury cars were made by the Packard Motor Car Company. Located on 40 acres of land on the city's east side, it included the first use of reinforced concrete in the United States for industrial construction in the automobile industry.

Opening in 1903, the Packard plant was considered the most modern automobile manufacturing facility in the world, and at its peak the complex employed 40,000 people. The plant turned out Packard automobiles from 1903 to 1956, except during WWII, when production shifted to war material, particularly the Packard V-1650 Merlin P-51 Mustang fighter plane engine. The last Detroit-built Packard was in 1956; they built their last car, the Packard Predictor.

Padauk Wood Pen Blanks - Vibrant African Exotic Hardwood

Product Specifications

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

Material: Genuine Padauk (Pterocarpus soyauxii) — a beautiful, vibrant African exotic hardwood.

Material Story

These stunning pen blanks are made from genuine **Padauk**, one of the most visually striking exotic hardwoods available. Freshly cut Padauk displays a brilliant orange to deep red color that naturally darkens over time into rich reddish-brown and purple tones, creating a beautiful, evolving finish.

Sourced from Central and West Africa, this dense hardwood features a straight to interlocked grain with a fine, uniform texture that turns exceptionally well. Its natural beauty, combined with excellent stability and workability, makes Padauk a favorite among woodturners for creating bold, eye-catching pens and other fine turned projects.

Each blank is carefully selected for color, figure, and quality, delivering a premium turning experience and a finished piece that stands out with warmth and character.

About Padauk Wood

Padauk, also known as African Padauk or Vermillion, is a premium exotic hardwood belonging to the Pterocarpus genus. It grows primarily in the tropical forests of Central and West Africa, including countries such as Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, and Nigeria.

Known for its vibrant natural color, Padauk starts as a bright orange-red when freshly cut and gradually matures into deep reddish-brown or purplish hues with exposure to light and air. It has a Janka hardness rating of approximately 1,970 lbf, making it very durable and resistant to wear. The wood is stable, with excellent dimensional stability, and features a straight to interlocked grain with a fine, even texture.

Highly prized by woodturners, furniture makers, and instrument builders, Padauk offers outstanding polish and a natural luster that enhances its dramatic appearance. It is also naturally resistant to insects and decay, adding to its long-term value.

Working with Padauk means creating with a truly dynamic wood — one that changes beautifully over time and produces finished pieces with rich, warm character and timeless appeal.

Palace of the Fans was a Major League baseball park located in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the home of the Cincinnati Reds from 1902 through 1911. The ballpark was on an asymmetrical block bounded by Findlay Street (south), Western Avenue (northeast, angling), York Street (north) and McLean Avenue (west).

The "Findlay and Western" intersection was the home field of the Reds from 1884 through June 24, 1970, when the team moved to Riverfront Stadium. The location of the diamond and consequently the main grandstand seating area was shifted several times during the 86½ seasons that the Reds played there. The Palace of the Fans was actually the second of three parks that stood on the site:

1884–1901: League Park
1902–1911: Palace of the Fans
1912–1970: Redland Field, renamed Crosley Field in 1934

In 1900, the southwest grandstand of League Park, the home of the Reds since their days in the American Association, burned to the ground. The Reds were forced to spend most of May and June on the road while League Park was reconfigured to move the grandstand to its old location in the southeast corner. However, Reds owner John Brush decided to build a new grandstand for the 1901 season.

The Palace of the Fans, so audaciously named, also presented a striking appearance. Designed in a neo-classic style reminiscent of Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, the Palace featured an extravagant facade, with 22 hand-carved Corinthian columns with elaborate details at the top, and opera-style private boxes in front of the covered grandstand. The grandstand actually sat atop carriage stalls so that the wealthy could simply drive directly to the game, an early precursor of "luxury suites". It was built mostly of concrete, and was the second park (after Baker Bowl in Philadelphia) to use concrete for the bulk of its construction. 

The grandstand was unique: a blend of Roman and Greek styling that had never been used before in a grandstand, and has never been seen since. The 3,000-seat grandstand featured 19 "fashion boxes" along the front railing that could hold 15 or more well-to-do fans. Beneath the grandstand, at field level, was standing room for 640 more spectators in a rowdy section known as "Rooter's Row." This section was so close to the players, the fans could take part in on-field conversations. Rooters Row was also strategically placed by the bar. The facade behind home plate contained the word "CINCINNATI". This was obviously of no benefit to anyone in attendance, assuming they knew where they were, but it ensured that pictures of the stands would inform viewers. However, the designers of the park forgot to include dugouts or clubhouses for the players.

The original 1884 stand remained as right field seating, having escaped the fire. A less elaborate stand connected the old and the new structures. Both the contemporary club owners and modern baseball historians consider the 1902 structure to be a new ballpark. Cincinnati fans not interested in the hype continued to call the facility "League Park", hence the alternate historical name, "League Park III".

On Opening Day, April 17, 1902, some 10,000 spectators crowded into the park and watched the Reds lose to the Chicago Colts (a.k.a. "Cubs"), 6-1.

The Reds had little on-field success during their stay at the Palace, but one event foreshadowed an historic development on this site: night baseball. On June 19, 1909, an exhibition game was held at the Palace under temporary lighting developed by George F. Cahill. This was not the first time night baseball had been attempted, but this experiment was deemed a success. In addition a soccer game between a Cincinnati team and a British touring team and a football game between the Gyms and Christ Church were held on October 14, 1909. Nothing would come of it, though, until the 1930s when night ball came to be seen as a necessity for boosting attendance.

Meanwhile, as with the original Columbian Exposition buildings, the Palace soon lost its luster. For one thing, the seating area was too small. Then, over time, the structure fell into a state of disrepair; city inspectors began to note cracked girders, decayed supports and unsafe floors. Finally, another fire damaged the stands significantly. The Palace was done after 10 seasons.

When it opened, the Palace had been described as "the handsomest grounds in the country". As the Palace prepared for its final game in 1911, the not-yet-built Redland Field was predicted to be "a modern and sumptuous stand, the equal of anything in the country."

The last game played at the Palace was on October 12, 1911, against the Cubs, the same team they played when the park was opened. By opening day of 1912, the Reds had an entirely new arena waiting for them on the site: Redland Field, which would later become known as Crosley Field.

The Washington family acquired land in the area in 1674. Around 1734, the family embarked on an expansion of its estate that continued under George Washington, who began leasing the estate in 1754 before becoming its sole owner in 1761.

The original mansion was built around 1734 by George Washington's father, Augustine. George Washington expanded the house twice, once in the late 1750s and again in the 1770s. It remained Washington's home for the rest of his life. Following his death in 1799, under the ownership of several successive generations of the family, the estate progressively declined as revenues were insufficient to maintain it adequately. It wasn’t until 1858 that the house’s historical importance was recognized and saved from ruin by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.

The pecan tree featured below was removed in Jan 2014 due to the risks of the tree damaging the Mansion. George Washington did not plant this tree. He didn't have any trees of this size close to his home. It is believed the pecan tree was planted about 60 years after he passed away, around 1860, making it an estimated 154 years old. The tree stood approximately 145 feet tall and weighed an estimated 50 tons.
