The Oak tree from which this hand-crafted item was made, witnessed the most important battle of the Civil War. On July 2nd, 1863, this tree watched over General Longstreet’s men as they prepared for an assault on the Peach Orchard, Round Top, and the Wheatfield. In 2002 this witness tree was claimed by a storm, and subsequently was removed from the battlefield by a company hired by the park service. Based off of the tree’s rings at the time of its falling, this tree was estimated to be at least 180 years old. It was located in the South Western edge of the battlefield.
Once removed a park service employee legally acquired the wood in an attempt to preserve a piece of history. I, Daniel Jones, certify that I personally purchased this wood from that employee and processed the raw materials used in this hand-crafted item.

eaver Stadium is an outdoor college football stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania, United States, on the campus of Pennsylvania State University. It has been home to the Penn State Nittany Lions of the Big Ten Conference since 1960, though some parts of the stadium date back to 1909. It was also the site of university commencements until 1984. The stadium, as well as its predecessors, is named after James A. Beaver who was a former governor of Pennsylvania (1887-91), president of the university's board of trustees, and native of nearby Millerstown, Pennsylvania.
Beaver Stadium has an official seating capacity of 106,572, making it currently the second largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere and the third largest in the world.
Beaver Stadium is widely known as one of the toughest venues for opposing teams in collegiate athletics. In 2008, Beaver Stadium was recognized as having the best student section in the country for the second consecutive year.
In 2016, Beaver Stadium was voted the number-one football stadium in college football in a USA Today poll, garnering over 41 percent of the vote. In March 2019, USA Today conducted another poll asking voters to decide the best stadium in the United States during "Bracket Madness", which coincided with the 2019 NCAA Basketball Tournament. Hundreds of thousands of fans voted for their favorites throughout the week. In the championship match-up, Beaver Stadium beat Kansas' Allen Fieldhouse to claim the title of Ultimate Stadium.

Gator Chomp into Swamp Supremacy – Snag Your Gator Grit Gem!
Picture chomping a victory snap with a pen slashed from seats that quaked in The Swamp's steamy roar, or uncorking SEC toasts with a stopper surging in orange-and-blue blaze. From championship rings reliving Heisman hauls to tailgate-tough knives carving gator-tail feasts—each relic is lathe-forged from bona fide stadium shards, snapping playoff pandemonium into heirloom hunts. Rally your row and let the Gators' ferocious frenzy electrify every twist!
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium: Gators' Swampy Shrine of Gridiron Greatness
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, infamously dubbed "The Swamp," lurks in the humid heart of the University of Florida's Gainesville campus, a gator-infested fortress of Southeastern Conference fury since its muddy inception. Construction churned the soil on April 16, 1930, birthing Florida Field as a $200,000 concrete cradle that flung open on October 27 with a capacity of 21,769—dedicated in a sellout spectacle on November 8 when the Gators mauled Alabama 20-0 before 21,769 sun-soaked fans, called by budding broadcaster Red Barber. Renamed in 1989 for tireless Gator booster and citrus magnate Ben Hill Griffin Jr., whose philanthropy fueled expansions, it embodies UF's relentless rise from 1906 Fleming Field frolics to national powerhouse status.
Swelling from humble stands to a thunderous 88,548 capacity on lush natural grass (standard 120x53-yard SEC battlefield), The Swamp brews bone-jarring intimacy where the furthest fan feels the turf tremble—dimensions a pitcher's dream: 83 feet to foul poles, 360 to alleys, 360 to center under those iconic palms. Expansions roared in epochs: 1950's west-side surge to 40,116, 1966's east stands ballooning to 62,800, 1982's south end zone skyboxes hitting 72,000, and 1991's $17 million north end zone vaulting to 83,000 for record roars like 85,461 vs. FSU. Later lifts—1990's grass revival, 2003's $50 million luxury lofts and suites, 2009's HD video walls, 2012's west concourse glow-up—fuse swampy soul with state-of-the-art snap, all sans state funds from private Gator grit.
Fortress of the Florida Gators for nine decades, The Swamp has swallowed three national championships (1996, 2006, 2008—all home-fueled feasts), 10 SEC titles, and Heisman heroes like Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), and Tim Tebow (2007) amid 800+ victories and sellout streaks since 1984. Steve Spurrier's 1991 quip—"True dat: A swamp is where Gators live"—ignited its mythic moniker, pulsing with "Gator Bait" chants, 2011 Heisman statues, and upsets like the 1990s FSU fumbles. Beyond gridiron glory, it hosts concerts, graduations, and cattle shows, etching Gainesville's humid heartbeat into lore. As Gators grapple for gridiron gold, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium endures as a steamy testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless terror in college football's bayou.

Johnny Bench, born December 7, 1947, in Oklahoma City, is widely regarded as one of baseball's greatest catchers. Playing his entire 17-year MLB career with the Cincinnati Reds (1967–1983), Bench revolutionized the catcher position with his defensive prowess, powerful arm, and offensive contributions. A key figure in the "Big Red Machine," he helped lead the Reds to two World Series titles (1975, 1976). Bench earned 14 All-Star selections, 10 Gold Glove Awards, and two National League MVP awards (1970, 1972). His career stats include a .267 batting average, 389 home runs, and 1,376 RBIs. Bench's ability to handle pitchers and throw out base stealers set new standards for catchers. In 1968, he won Rookie of the Year. Off the field, Bench has been a broadcaster, author, and philanthropist. Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989, his No. 5 jersey is retired by the Reds. Bench’s legacy endures as a benchmark for excellence in baseball.

Benchmark International Arena: Where Lightning Strikes Gold
Benchmark International Arena crackles at Tampa's downtown core, the high-voltage hub of Bay-area buzz. Debuting October 20, 1996, as the Ice Palace, it ignited with the Lightning's 5-2 smackdown of the New York Rangers, after a circus spectacle opener. Evolving through names like St. Pete Times Forum (2002–2012), Tampa Bay Times Forum (2012–2014), and Amalie Arena (2014–2025), it now shines as Benchmark International Arena since 2025, mirroring Tampa's dynamic ascent via a merger-firm partnership.
Packing 19,092 hockey-crazed souls, it brews a cauldron-close vibe on the NHL's 200x85-foot ice slab, sparking edge-of-your-seat rushes.

Bastion of the Tampa Bay Lightning, it's cradled three Stanley Cup conquests (2004, 2020, 2021—all home-ice seals), NHL All-Stars in '99 and '18, and 27+ playoff sagas. The Bolts' blitzkrieg era, laced with OT magic and dynasty dashes, ignites in this thunder-dome. Multi-sport maven too—NCAA Final Fours, UFC brawls, WWE wars, star-studded shows—it pulses Tampa's tough-love heartbeat. As Lightning hunts more lore, Benchmark International Arena blazes on as a forge of fury, feats, and fan-fueled frenzy in pro puck.

Benjamin Franklin Birthplace
***Limited numbers available.***
All blanks will come with one COA per blank. COAs are 4" x 6" card stock with silver foil embossed COA seal.
All blanks are cut as they are ordered.
------------------------------------------------------------
Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706 in Boston, MA, in what was known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He was born in a small house at 17 Milk Street, across the street from the Old Meeting House. Franklin was born in this house and lived there for six years with his father Josiah, mother Abiah, and his 16 siblings. Benjamin was the 15th child and youngest son.
Franklin stated that he was born at the corner of Hanover and Union Street in Boston, but according to the Bostonian Society he was mistaken. Records show that Josiah Franklin was a tenant at 17 Milk Street from 1685 to 1712, where Benjamin was born in 1706. The family later moved to Hanover and Union Street, where his father's soap and candle shop was located. Benjamin lived there with his family until the age of 17, when he decided to leave for Philadelphia.
The current building that stands on 17 Milk Street is not the original where Franklin was born. The original building was destroyed by a fire in 1811, making room for the building that stands there today. There is a bust of Franklin commemorating his birthplace on the second floor facade of the building. The inscription on the wall reads “Birthplace of Franklinâ".
Hardin Penworks, LLC, certifies that the wood supplied to the artisan of the accompanying item was sourced from the historic spruce wood beams of the building currently occupying the original home of Benjamin Franklin on Milk Street.

Selected 23rd overall by the New York Islanders in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, he played at the junior level with the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) for four seasons. In 1995–96, he played his rookie season with the Islanders. After two-and-a-half seasons with the Islanders, he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks. Bertuzzi enjoyed the most successful seasons of his career with the Canucks—his longest tenured team in the NHL—including NHL First Team All-Star honours in 2003. During the 2003–04 season, he was suspended for the Todd Bertuzzi–Steve Moore incident. In 2006, after seven-and-a-half seasons with Vancouver, Bertuzzi was dealt to the Florida Panthers, with whom he briefly played for until being traded again to the Red Wings. He then played single seasons with the Anaheim Ducks and the Calgary Flames before returning to Detroit in 2009 and finishing his career there. Internationally, Bertuzzi has competed for Team Canada at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, as well as the 1998 and 2000 World Championships.

Big Leaf Maple Burl Hybrid Pen Blank BL-0002
Discover the rich character of premium Big Leaf Maple Burl stabilized and cast in clear resin for this BL-0002 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 BL-0002 blank measures approximately 13/16" x 13/16" x 5-1/4" and combines kiln-dried Big Leaf Maple Burl Wood 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. Additional ideas include bottle stoppers, ring blanks, and small turned boxes where the unique flame patterns of the Big Leaf Maple Burl Wood can be highlighted against the clear resin for striking visual appeal. The material's stability also makes it suitable for watch part blanks or steampunk-style projects.
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.

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.

- 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.

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.
Bocote Wood Pen Blanks - Premium Exotic Hardwood
Wood Species & Blank Sizes
Scientific Name: Cordia gerascanthus
Common Names: Bocote, Mexican Rosewood, Bocote Rosewood
Each standard pen blank measures a minimum of 5" long × ¾" × ¾" square. All blanks are kiln-dried, pre-squared, and hand-selected for striking color and figure. A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with every order.
Material Story
Bocote is a premium exotic hardwood native to Mexico and Central America. Its heartwood displays dramatic dark chocolate to black stripes against a golden-brown background, often with dramatic figuring that resembles rosewood or tiger maple. The wood has a fine, even texture and a natural luster that polishes to a glass-like finish, making it one of the most visually striking species available for pen turning.
Turning & Finishing Notes
Bocote turns cleanly with sharp carbide or HSS tools at moderate speeds. Its interlocked grain can occasionally produce tear-out, so light cuts and sharp tools are recommended. The wood sands to a silky surface and accepts CA glue, friction polish, shellac, and most other pen finishes exceptionally well. It produces a pleasant, mild scent while turning and has a Janka hardness around 2,200 lbf, delivering excellent durability in finished pens.
Project Ideas
Ideal for elegant single-barrel or slimline pens, bottle stoppers, and small turned accessories. The bold striping creates high-contrast, professional results that stand out in any collection. Pair with Compatible Pen Component Sets for a complete project. Finish with Craft Coat to enhance the natural figure.
Care & Safety
Store blanks in a stable environment to prevent movement. Use proper dust extraction and a respirator when turning. Bocote is moderately dense and stable once finished.

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.
