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.

Bird's Eye Maple Pen Blanks – 5" × ¾" Square
Scientific Name: Acer saccharum (primarily)
Common Names: Bird's Eye Maple, Birdseye Maple
Origin
Bird's Eye Maple grows across the temperate forests of North America, with the highest-quality figured stock most commonly sourced from the Great Lakes region, particularly Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and parts of Canada. The distinctive "bird's eye" figure is a rare natural occurrence caused by localized fiber distortions in the tree.
Description & Characteristics
Bird's Eye Maple is one of the most unique and sought-after figured woods for pen turning. It features hundreds of small, swirling "eyes" or speckles throughout the grain that create a beautiful three-dimensional effect. The background wood is typically a creamy white to pale golden color, providing excellent contrast to the darker eyes. This figure gives finished pens a luxurious, almost shimmering appearance under finish.
These premium 5" × ¾" square pen blanks are pre-squared, kiln-dried, and carefully selected for good density of bird's eye figure, making them ideal for turning elegant single-barrel or slimline pens that showcase this rare natural beauty.
Turning Tips for Bird's Eye Maple
- Figure & Chatoyancy: The tiny "eyes" create a striking 3D effect that really comes alive with a high-gloss finish and proper lighting.
- Workability: Turns cleanly with sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools. Take light cuts to minimize tear-out around the eyes.
- Stability: Generally stable when properly dried, though highly figured pieces can sometimes have minor tension — these blanks are selected for turning reliability.
- Sanding & Finishing: Sands smoothly and takes CA glue, friction polish, shellac, or most pen finishes beautifully, enhancing the depth and pop of the bird's eye figure.
- Dust & Safety: Produces fine dust — always use good dust extraction and wear a respirator.
Perfect for pen turners who want a rare, high-end look with incredible visual interest. Bird's Eye Maple creates pens that feel premium and spark conversation in any collection.

Turning Tips for Black & White Ebony

Origin
Black Ash is native to the wetlands and swampy regions of northeastern North America, ranging from eastern Canada through the northern and eastern United States. The burls form on these hardy trees, prized for their dramatic figure.
Description & Characteristics
Black Ash Burl is a favorite among pen turners for its striking contrast, abundant "eyes," and swirling grain patterns. Stabilized blanks display rich dark brown to near-black tones with lighter creamy or blonde highlights, creating exceptional depth and visual drama. The stabilization process enhances durability, reduces cracking, and allows for a smooth, high-polish finish while preserving the natural beauty of the burl eyes and figure.
Note: Each blank is unique. Some may feature prominent burl eyes, chatoyance, or natural variations in color and pattern that add character to your finished pens.
These premium 5" × 7/8" square pen blanks are pre-squared, kiln-dried, fully stabilized, and hand-selected for outstanding figure. They turn cleanly and produce stunning, one-of-a-kind writing instruments.
Turning Tips for Black Ash Burl
- Density & Hardness: Moderately hard (Janka ~850 lbf for the base wood; stabilized material performs excellently).
- Tools: Sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools recommended. Light cuts help prevent tear-out around burl eyes.
- Technique: Lathe speeds of 2,000–3,000 RPM work well. Sand progressively (220–2000+ grit) and monitor for heat.
- Finish: CA glue for stabilization touch-ups, friction polish, shellac, or high-gloss lacquer beautifully enhance the dark tones and figure.
- Dust & Safety: Use strong dust extraction and wear a quality respirator.

Ocean City is an Atlantic resort town in Maryland along the East Coast of the United States. The population was 6,844 at the 2020 U.S. census, but during summer weekends the city hosts up to 345,000 vacationers and up to eight million visitors annually. During the summer, Ocean City becomes the second most populated municipality in Maryland, after Baltimore.
The Ocean City Boardwalk currently runs from South 2nd Street at the Ocean City Inlet in South Ocean City, up to 27th Street in South Ocean City. The boardwalk is home to food, shops, arcades, and amusements.
Originally called the "Atlantic Avenue", the first Ocean City boardwalk was constructed in 1902. After being damaged by a storm in 1962, the boardwalk was rebuilt to stretch a total of 2.25 miles, which is still its length today. Many years later the boardwalk would suffer extensive storm damage during Hurricane Gloria in 1985 which pummeled Ocean City with 89 mph winds. The boardwalk was refurbished, and a concrete sea wall was soon constructed following the storm to prevent further damage. The aftermath of Hurricane Gloria led to the first phase of extensive beach replenishment projects in Ocean City.
The Ocean City Boardwalk was damaged again in 2012 as a result of Hurricane Sandy. The boardwalk was flooded and half of it was destroyed as a result of the water coming so far onto shore. The boardwalk has since been rebuilt back to its original length and still attracts many tourists and families.

Saddle Up for Cowboy Glory – Lasso Your Boone Pickens Booty!
Envision roping a game-winning ride with a pen forged from seats that thundered with Pokes pride at Boone Pickens, or uncorking Bedlam brews with a stopper blazing in orange fury. From victory-lap rings reliving Fiesta feasts to tailgate-tough knives carving post-homecoming hauls—each talisman is lathe-born from genuine stadium grit, galloping Pistol Pete's punch into heirloom herds. Yeehaw your yoke and unleash the Cowboys' relentless roundup in every revolution!
Boone Pickens Stadium: Cowboys' Corral of Gridiron Grandeur
Boone Pickens Stadium anchors the spirited campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, a cowboy-clad colossus of Big 12 bravado since its dusty dawn. Rudimentary roots trace to 1919 on what became Lewis Field, but the steel-and-concrete saga ignited with groundbreaking in 1920, unveiling on October 2 with a 12-7 thriller over West Virginia Wesleyan before 500 hardy fans—christened for beloved botany professor Dr. A.G. Lewis. Evolving from a modest dirt oval to a monumental mecca, it was rechristened in 2003 for legendary alumnus and oil titan T. Boone Pickens, whose $165 million largesse sparked a renaissance, symbolizing OSU's charge from territorial college to national contender.
Burgeoning from 500 souls to a raucous 53,885 capacity on FieldTurf (standard 120x53-yard battlefield), the stadium saddles up intimate vistas with hitter-friendly flanks: 105 feet to foul poles, 345 to alleys, 360 to center under those orange-decked decks. Expansions galloped forth: 1924's south stands to 8,000, 1929-30's west surge to 16,000, 1947's east addition hitting 30,000, 1950's north end zone to 32,000, 1971's upper decks vaulting 50,000, and the crown jewel—a $325 million 2003-2009 overhaul birthing the south side in 2004 with brick Georgian grandeur, luxury suites, and the iconic Saddle (now Tom Tom Club) matching campus charm, all fueled by private pokes.
Corral for the Oklahoma State Cowboys across a century, Boone Pickens has herded 11 bowl triumphs including 1945's Sugar Sugar Bowl, 2009 Holiday heist, 2013-14 Fiesta fireworks, and 2021's Cheez-It cheese, plus eight conference crowns amid 600+ home wins and sellout streaks since 2000. Record roars crest at 51,458 for the 1979 Bedlam brawl, pulsing with Thurman Thomas's Heisman hurdles (1987), Barry Sanders' blur (1988), and Mason Rudolph's magic. Home to America's Greatest Homecoming with 45,000+ orange-flooded faithful, it hosts concerts and cattle calls, etching Stillwater's saddle-soaked soul into lore. As Cowboys chase corral crowns, Boone Pickens endures as a testament to tenacity, trailblazing, and timeless trail dust in college football's frontier.

Boston Garden was an arena in Boston, United States. Designed by boxing promoter Tex Rickard, who also built the third iteration of New York's Madison Square Garden, it opened on November 17, 1928 as "Boston Madison Square Garden" (later shortened to just "Boston Garden") and outlived its original namesake by 30 years. It was above North Station, a train station which was originally a hub for the Boston and Maine Railroad and is now a hub for MBTA Commuter Rail and Amtrak trains.
The Garden hosted home games for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA), as well as rock concerts, amateur sports, boxing and professional wrestling matches, circuses, and ice shows. It was also used as an exposition hall for political rallies such as the speech by John F. Kennedy in November 1960. Boston Garden was demolished in 1998, three years after the completion of its new successor arena, TD Garden.

Bristol Motor Speedway: Thunder Valley of NASCAR Thunder
Bristol Motor Speedway, the "World's Fastest Half-Mile," carves into the Appalachian foothills of Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia border—a concrete colossus of stock car spectacle since its groundbreaking inception. Conceived by local businessmen in 1959 amid NASCAR's booming South, the $1.2 million marvel broke ground in August 1960, roaring open on August 25, 1961, with the Volunteer 500 where Jack Smith edged Rex White in a Cup debut thriller before 18,000 fans under the summer sun—heralding Bristol as a short-track shrine and instant icon of oval audacity, blending rural grit with roaring revenue.

Beyond ovals, it hosts Dirt on Dirt, concerts, and fireworks extravaganzas, etching Bristol's borderland heartbeat into lore. As engines evolve, Bristol Motor Speedway endures as a testament to tire smoke, thunderous turns, and timeless track terror in motorsport's marquee.

Bryant-Denny Stadium: Tide's Crimson Citadel of Gridiron Glory
Bryant-Denny Stadium, the thunderous heart of University of Alabama's Tuscaloosa campus, stands as a crimson colossus of Southeastern Conference supremacy since its groundbreaking genesis. Construction churned the red clay on July 20, 1929, birthing Denny Stadium as a $200,000 concrete cradle that flung open on September 28 with a 55-0 demolition of Mississippi College before 12,000 fervent fans—dedicated a week later on October 5 with another 55-0 rout of Union, christened for visionary president George H. Denny whose ambition elevated UA from regional roots to Rose Bowl royalty after 1925-26 triumphs. Renamed in 1975 to honor legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant and President Denny, it embodies the Tide's unyielding evolution into a dynasty forged in blood, sweat, and Bama pride.
Burgeoning from humble horseshoe to a roaring 101,821 capacity on lush natural grass (standard 120x53-yard SEC battlefield), the stadium saddles up bone-rattling intimacy where "Roll Tide" echoes like artillery—dimensions a defender's delight: 108 feet to foul poles, 315 to alleys, 345 to center under those iconic twin spires. Expansions thundered in waves: 1937's east-side surge to 18,000, 1946's end-zone bleachers hitting 31,000, 1961's west grandstand to 43,000, 1966's enclosed ends vaulting 60,210, 1988's upper deck to 70,333, 1998's north end zone to 83,818, 2006's south suites to 92,138, and 2010's west upper deck cresting 101,821 for record roars like 101,821 vs. Auburn in 2023—all privately funded, blending Bear-era bones with modern mojo via $600 million Crimson Standard initiatives including 2019-20's $92.5 million tunnel, suites, and videoboards.
Fortress of the Alabama Crimson Tide for nearly a century, Bryant-Denny has cradled 18 national championships (13 under Bryant/Saban), 30 SEC titles, and Heisman heroes like Mark Ingram (2009) amid 900+ home wins and sellout streaks since 1929. From the 1931 Rose Bowl echo to Saban's seven rings (2009-2020), it pulses with Iron Bowl infernos, 1992 upset lore, and viral "Sandstorm" stomps—hosting concerts, graduations, and gubernatorial nods. Beyond gridiron gold, it's Tuscaloosa's tidal soul, etching Bama's unbreakable bond into lore. As the Tide hunts more crowns, Bryant-Denny endures as a crimson testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless terror in college football's pantheon.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Bryant–Denny Stadium is an outdoor stadium in the southeastern United States, on the campus of the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. It is the home field of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
Opened 91 years ago in 1929, it was originally named Denny Stadium in honor of George H. Denny, the school's president from 1912 to 1932. In 1975, the state legislature added longtime head coach and alumnus Paul "Bear" Bryant to the stadium's name. Bryant led the Tide for seven more seasons, through 1982, and is one of the few in Division I to have coached in a venue bearing his name.
With a seating capacity of 101,821, it is the fourth-largest stadium in the Southeastern Conference, the seventh largest stadium in the United States and the ninth largest stadium in the world.
These blanks were part of the framing structure around Gate 22. The wood was removed during the 2020 renovations. As part of a larger, 10-year $600 million plan to upgrade campus athletic facilities, the University is planning $92.5 million in upgrades to the stadium, including new social spaces, improved circulation, additional premium seating and upgraded spaces for athletes and recruits. The Walk of Champions will be extended into a new game day locker room via a new tunnel clad with video boards. The project will be funded with $48.4 million in bonds and $35 million from the Crimson Tide Foundation, the fundraising arm of UA athletics. Construction began shortly after the 2019 season.
New LED lights for the stadium were unveiled on the night of August 12, 2019, including a crimson-hued light display by the new installations.
