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.

These turn really well. A great pick for customers that want a piece of history.
The wood turns easily and has the character with it. The topper is amazingly artistic. It polishes well and looks amazing.
This made a beautiful pen! We made it in slimline style and paired it with gold settings. It was gorgeous!
I was disappointed that this blank is bowed. I will have waste from this to be able to utilize. It was not the same quality as every blank I have previously ordered
Hello Will.
I am sorry this blank did not meet your expectations. It has been our experience that any bow in a pen blank can usually be mitigated when the blank is cut to tube length. Once cut, the bow is generally flattened out to nearly disappear. This is especially sow with our curved stadium seat blanks.
If this blank will not work for your needs, I will happily send out a replacement blank. I can send out a replacement with a return shipping label to send the undesired blank back.
Thank you,
Michael
