Brown Mallee Burl Pen Blanks – 5" × 13/16" Square

Scientific Name: Eucalyptus dumosa / Eucalyptus viridis (and related species) Common Names: Brown Mallee, Brown Mallee Burl

Origin

Brown Mallee is a iconic eucalyptus species native to the arid and semi-arid regions of southeastern Australia. The best burl material typically comes from the mallee scrublands of Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales.

Description & Characteristics

Brown Mallee Burl is prized by pen turners worldwide for its incredibly tight burl eyes, swirling grain patterns, and rich natural color palette. The heartwood displays beautiful medium to deep brown tones, often accented with golden, honey, orange, and reddish highlights that create dramatic contrast and depth.

Note: Some blanks may include light blonde sapwood edges, which is natural to the species and adds unique character to the finished pen.

These premium 5" × ¾" square pen blanks are pre-squared, kiln-dried, and hand-selected for exceptional figure. The dense burl structure delivers stunning visual interest that pops under finish, making every pen truly one-of-a-kind.

Turning Tips for Brown Mallee Burl

• Density & Hardness: Exceptionally hard and dense (Janka hardness around 2,490 lbf). Turns cleanly with sharp tools.
• Tools: Use very sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools. Take light cuts to minimize tear-out around the tight burl eyes.
• Technique: Moderate lathe speeds (2,000–3,000 RPM) work best. Sand carefully between grits.
• Finish: CA glue, friction polish, shellac, and high-gloss pen finishes all produce outstanding results.
• Dust & Safety: Always use strong dust extraction and wear a quality respirator.

Perfect for experienced turners and ambitious beginners who want a premium, eye-catching Australian burl that stands out in any collection.

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.

Buckeye Burl Pen Blanks [Stabilized] - Premium American Figured Wood

Product Specifications

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

Material: Genuine Buckeye Burl (Aesculus spp.) — Fully Stabilized with Cactus Juice.

Material Story

These stunning pen blanks are crafted from premium **Buckeye Burl**, one of the most colorful and intricately figured burls native to North America. Each piece displays wild, swirling grain with dramatic eyes, feathers, and bold color variations.

The blanks vary wildly in appearance — featuring vibrant grays, creamy blondes, rich oranges, reds, and deep purples. No two blanks are alike. Because raw Buckeye Burl is naturally unstable, we fully stabilize every blank using **Cactus Juice stabilizing resin**. This premium stabilization process locks in the beautiful figure, eliminates movement, increases density, and allows for smooth, clean turning with a high-gloss finish that beautifully highlights the intricate patterns.

The result is a stable, eye-catching blank that turns like a dream and produces show-stopping, one-of-a-kind pens.

About Buckeye Burl Wood

Buckeye Burl comes from the Buckeye tree (primarily Ohio Buckeye or California Buckeye). It is highly prized by woodturners for its exceptional figure and vibrant natural colors. The burl forms on the lower trunk and roots of the tree, creating dense clusters of dormant buds that result in complex, chaotic grain patterns.

When stabilized with Cactus Juice, Buckeye Burl becomes one of the most visually striking domestic burls available. The stabilization process not only strengthens the wood but also intensifies and preserves the stunning array of colors — often revealing bright pinks, oranges, yellows, grays, and blondes with contrasting dark streaks.

With excellent workability after stabilization, Buckeye Burl is a favorite for high-end pens, knife handles, bowls, and other decorative turnings. Its bold figure and color make it stand out in any collection.

Owning a stabilized Buckeye Burl blank means working with a true American natural wonder — a rare and beautiful piece of domestic burl that transforms into one-of-a-kind, conversation-starting finished pieces.

Busch Memorial Stadium, also known as Busch Stadium II, was a multi-purpose sports facility in St. Louis, Missouri, that operated for 40 years, from 1966 through 2005.

The stadium served as the home of the St. Louis Cardinals National League baseball team for its entire operating existence, while also serving as home to the National Football League's Cardinals team for 22 seasons, from 1966 through 1987, as well as the St. Louis Rams during part of the 1995 season. It opened four days after the last baseball game was played at Sportsman's Park (which had also been known since 1953 as Busch Stadium).

The stadium was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel and built by Grün & Bilfinger. Edward Durell Stone designed the roof, a 96-arch "Crown of Arches". The Crown echoed the Gateway Arch, which had been completed only a year before Busch Stadium opened. It was one of the first multipurpose "cookie-cutter" facilities built in the United States, popular from the early 1960s through the early 1980s.

Its final event was the sixth game of the 2005 NLCS on October 19. The stadium was demolished by wrecking ball in late 2005 and part of its former footprint is occupied by its replacement stadium—the new Busch Stadium (a.k.a. Busch Stadium III), located just south.

The Cadillac V-63 is a large luxury automobile that was introduced in September 1923 by Cadillac as a 1924 model, replacing the previous Type 61. It used the GMC platform a rear wheel drive automobile chassis used by General Motors for its full-sized cars from 1925 through 1984.

The V-63 used an improved version of the L-head V8 engine that made Cadillac famous. The main innovation was a cross-plane crankshaft which improved balance and smoothness. The most noticeable update for 1925 was the introduction of two classifications of body style choices. The naming convention was refreshed for 1926 as the Series 314 signifying the engine displacement, with a further enlargement to 341 in 1928.

The first displacement upgrade to the Cadillac V8 was introduced in 1928, the first change since the engine was introduced in 1915. While the internal designation was now known as the Series 341-A. The car was advertised simply as "The New Cadillac" along with the introduction of LaSalle junior companion brand and was the first time there were more than one product line from Cadillac.

California Memorial Stadium is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley in Berkeley, California. Commonly known as Memorial Stadium, it is the home field for the University of California Golden Bears of the Pac-12 Conference. The venue opened in 1923 and currently seats around 63,000 fans for football. The playing field runs NW-SE, at an elevation of 410 feet (125 m) above sea level. It has been named one of the top college football stadiums by various publications, and it was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 2006.

Memorial Stadium was funded from public contributions, as a memorial to Californians who lost their lives in World War I (1917–18). The chair of the architectural committee was John Galen Howard, the university's chief architect, and his influence is evident in the stadium's neoclassical motif. In addition to its unique architecture, the stadium's position at the foot of the Berkeley hills provides top row spectators with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and west side viewers with views of the Berkeley Hills and Strawberry Canyon. This has earned it a reputation as one of the most scenic venues in college football.

Traditionally, during all football games and especially during the Big Game against Stanford, the hill overlooking the eastern side of Memorial Stadium attracts spectators hoping to watch a game for free, earning the nickname "Tightwad Hill".

Hardin Penworks, LLC, certifies that material supplied to the artisan of the accompanying hand-crafted item was sourced from old wooden bleachers of Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, WI.

Located on the campus of the University of Wisconsin, it has been the home of the Wisconsin Badgers football team in rudimentary form since 1895, and as a fully functioning stadium since 1917. The stadium is the oldest and fifth largest stadium in the Big Ten Conference.

The stadium lies on the grounds of Camp Randall, a Union Army training camp during the Civil War. The camp was named after then Governor Alexander Randall, who later became Postmaster General of the United States.

After an outcry from veterans over plans to turn the site into building lots, the state bought it in 1893 and presented it to the university. Soon afterward, it was pressed into service as an athletic ground. It was originally used by the track and field team before the football and baseball teams moved there in 1895.
