Canary Wood Pen Blanks – 5" × ¾" Square

Scientific Name: Centrolobium ochroxylon (and related species)
Common Names: Canary Wood, Canarywood, Putumuju, Tarara Amarilla

Origin

Canary Wood is native to the tropical rainforests of South America, primarily sourced from Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and parts of Colombia and Venezuela. It grows in the Amazon basin and surrounding lowland tropical forests where it can reach impressive heights.

Description & Characteristics

Canary Wood is prized by pen turners for its vibrant, eye-catching color and beautiful grain. The heartwood displays a striking range of bright yellow to golden orange, often with darker reddish-brown streaks or highlights that create natural contrast. It has a medium to coarse texture with straight to slightly interlocked grain that turns smoothly and finishes to a high luster.

These premium 5" × ¾" square pen blanks are pre-squared, kiln-dried, and selected for strong color, making them perfect for turning into vibrant single-barrel or slimline pens that really stand out.

Turning Tips for Canary Wood

Bright Color: The vivid yellow-orange tones are very stable and make for bold, cheerful pens that pop under clear finishes.
Workability: Turns cleanly with both carbide and high-speed steel tools. It cuts well at moderate lathe speeds with minimal tear-out.
Sanding & Finishing: Sands smoothly and accepts CA glue, friction polish, shellac, and most pen finishes exceptionally well, producing a brilliant, glassy shine.
Dust & Safety: Produces fine dust — always use good dust extraction and wear a respirator. Many turners enjoy its mild, pleasant scent while turning.

Ideal for pen turners looking for a bright, tropical look with excellent turning properties. Canary Wood creates lively, eye-catching pens that bring warmth and color to any collection.

Candlestick Park: Niners' Windy Wharf of Gridiron Gold

Conceived in 1957 as a baseball beacon for the Giants fleeing Polo Grounds, groundbreaking sliced the marshy landfill on June 20, 1958—fashioned from 26 million cubic yards of dredged bay mud into a $24 million concrete horseshoe by John Bolles.

Ballooning from 32,000 baseball bleachers to a howling 70,207 football faithful on AstroTurf (standard 120x53.3-yard NFL turf, later grass in 2006), Candlestick brewed bone-chilling bay blasts where jets from SFO roared overhead and fog horns wailed—dimensions a passer's paradise: 100 feet to sidelines, 300 to corners under those quirky cove lights.

Demolished in 2015 for a housing harbor, Candlestick endures as a windy testament to tenacity, triumphs, and timeless bay breeze in NFL's nautical north.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Cassell Coliseum is a 10,052-seat multi-purpose arena in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States, that opened in 1962. It is home to the Virginia Tech Hokies men's and women's basketball teams.

Built as a replacement for the much smaller War Memorial Gymnasium, the Coliseum's construction began in 1961. It was fully completed in December 1964 at a cost of $2.7 million.[3] It was designed by Carneal and Johnston (now Ballou Justice Upton Architects, Richmond, Va) and built by T.C. Brittain and Company of Decatur, Georgia. Originally just referred to as "the Coliseum," it was dedicated on September 17, 1977 to the late Stuart K. Cassell, former school business manager, first Vice President of Administration, and major supporter of the building of the arena.

The first game was on January 3, 1962 when the Hokies played Alabama. The Hokies won 91-67. Unfortunately, the crowd sat on the bare concrete risers to watch the game because the seats had not arrived.

In the early years of the Coliseum, the Hokies frequently saw capacity crowds pack the venue. However, student and alumni interest in basketball decreased in the 1990s due to the Hokies' lack of a stable basketball conference home (the Hokies were in three different conferences in nine seasons) and due to the success of the football team. Fan support has begun to gain momentum under coach Seth Greenberg and the school's recent move to the ACC. A raucous student section, nicknamed the "Cassell Guard," has helped transform the Coliseum into a difficult venue for opposing teams in an athletic conference ripe with intimidating basketball arenas.

Chase Field: D-backs' Desert Dome of Diamond Domination

Chase Field gleams in the sun-baked sprawl of downtown Phoenix, a retractable-roof marvel anchoring Arizona's MLB dreams since its groundbreaking genesis. Conceived amid 1990s expansion fever to lure a franchise from the desert's dust, the $354 million behemoth—funded by a controversial 0.25% sales tax hike in 1994—broke ground on November 16, 1995, and soared open as Bank One Ballpark on March 31, 1998, with the expansion Arizona Diamondbacks blanking the New York Mets 2-0 before 50,179 fans under a partly cloudy sky—heralding Phoenix as a big-league oasis and the D-backs' inaugural roar.

Enveloping 48,686 diamond diehards in climate-controlled comfort on FieldTurf (natural grass since 2023), Chase brews hitter-friendly heat with dimensions a slugger's delight: 330 feet to left and right, 407 to center amid those iconic cacti silhouettes—pioneering the U.S.'s first retractable roof (Fredric C. Hamilton-designed, spanning 320 feet) to tame 110-degree temps. Facelifts flared: 2005's Chase rebrand, 2006's $6 million pool upgrades in right field (MLB's first), 2012's $5 million LED videoboard, 2018's $15 million concourse expansions, and 2023's turf-to-grass swap—blending retro charm with modern mojo via Maricopa County stewardship and D-backs' private infusions.

Sanctuary for the Arizona Diamondbacks since day one, Chase has cradled the 2001 World Series miracle (7-game thriller over Yankees, sealed by Luis Gonzalez's bloop), three NL West crowns (1998, 2001, 2007), Randy Johnson's five Cy Youngs (four here), and All-Star Games in 2011 amid 2,000+ home wins and record roars (49,180 vs. Dodgers in 2023). Pulsing with "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" echoes, swimming pool splashes, and desert night magic, it hosts concerts and conventions too.

The burl figure adds unique character that makes every turned piece one-of-a-kind. Cherry develops a smooth, satiny luster and deepens beautifully with age and light exposure, delivering a refined, professional appearance. With a Janka hardness of approximately 950 lbf, Cherry burl turns smoothly, accepts finishes well, and offers excellent stability for both beginners and experienced makers.

Turning & Finishing Notes

Cherry burl works beautifully on the lathe with sharp tools. Orient blanks to showcase the burl figure. It responds well to CA glue finishes and Craft Coat for a high polish. Avoid excessive heat during turning to preserve natural color. The fine texture and natural luster respond beautifully to careful sanding and polishing techniques.

About Cherry Wood

American Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) is a premium native hardwood found throughout the eastern United States and Canada. It is highly valued by woodworkers for its stunning color and excellent working properties. Freshly cut cherry heartwood ranges from light pink to medium reddish-brown and naturally darkens over time into a deep, rich mahogany-like tone.

Working with Cherry means creating with a true American classic — a warm, elegant wood that only gets more beautiful with time.

Chicago Stadium was an indoor arena located in Chicago, Illinois that opened in 1929 and closed in 1994. It was the home of the National Hockey League's Chicago Blackhawks and the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bulls.

In addition to the close-quartered, triple-tiered, boxy layout of the building, much of the loud, ringing noise of the fans could be attributed to the fabled 3,663-pipe Barton organ, boasting the world's largest theater organ console with 6 manuals (keyboards) and over 800 stops, and played by Al Melgard. Melgard played for decades during hockey games there, earning the Stadium the moniker "The Madhouse on Madison". For years, it was also known as "The Loudest Arena in the NBA", due to its barn-shaped features.

In the Stanley Cup semifinals of 1971, when the Blackhawks scored a series-clinching empty-net goal in Game 7 against the New York Rangers, CBS announcer Dan Kelly reported, "I can feel our broadcast booth shaking! That's the kind of place Chicago Stadium is right now!" The dressing rooms at the Stadium were placed underneath the seats, and the cramped corridor that led to the ice, with its twenty-two steps, became the stuff of legend. Legend has it a German Shepherd wandered the bowels at night as "the security team."

In the 1973 Stanley Cup Final against Montreal, Chicago owner Bill Wirtz had the NHL's first goal horn installed in the building, reportedly because he liked the sound of the horn on his yacht. This practice would, in the ensuing years, become almost commonplace in professional hockey.

Nancy Faust, organist for 40 years at Chicago White Sox games, also played indoors at the Stadium, at courtside for Chicago Bulls home games from 1976-84, and on the pipe organ for Chicago Blackhawks hockey there from 1985-89.

It also became traditional for Blackhawk fans to cheer loudly throughout the singing of the national anthems, especially when sung by Chicago favorite Wayne Messmer. Denizens of the second balcony often added sparklers and flags to the occasion. Arguably, the most memorable of these was the singing before the 1991 NHL All-Star Game, which took place during the Gulf War. This tradition has continued at the United Center. Longtime PA announcer Harvey Wittenberg had a unique monotone style: "Blackhawk goal scored by #9, Bobby Hull, unassisted, at 6:13."

In 1992, both the Blackhawks and the Bulls reached the finals in their respective leagues. The Blackhawks were swept in their finals by the Pittsburgh Penguins, losing at Chicago Stadium, while the Bulls won the second of their first of three straight NBA titles on their home floor against the Portland Trail Blazers. The next time the Bulls clinched the championship at home, was in the newly built United Center in 1996 (when they did so against the Seattle SuperSonics), their second season at the new arena, and the Blackhawks would not reach the Stanley Cup Finals again until 2010 (in which they defeated the Philadelphia Flyers in six games), their 16th season in the new building, although they won their first championship since 1961 in Philadelphia. The Blackhawks last won the Stanley Cup at the Stadium in 1938; they did not win the Cup again at home until 2015 at the United Center.
