Cherry Burl Pen Blanks - Premium American Black Cherry

Wood Species & Blank Sizes

Each Cherry Burl pen blank measures a minimum of 5" long × 3/4" × 3/4" square. Material is genuine American Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) heartwood with dramatic burl figure. All blanks include a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Pen components sold separately.


Material Story

These premium pen blanks are crafted from American Black Cherry burl, prized for its rich reddish-brown tones and highly figured, swirling grain patterns. 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.


Project Ideas

Ideal for elegant fountain pens, rollerball pens, bottle stoppers, and small turned accessories. Pair with Pen blanks for matching sets or explore Compatible Pen Component Sets for professional results. Display finished work on Pen display stands & COA holders. Makers also enjoy combining these blanks with other domestic hardwoods from our Premium Hardwood Blanks collection to create striking segmented designs.


About Cherry Burl

American Black Cherry burl is a domestic hardwood native to eastern North America. The burl growth produces exceptional figure and color variation, making it a favorite among woodturners seeking distinctive, high-end materials. Its fine texture and natural beauty create timeless pieces that improve with use. The swirling patterns and warm tones make each blank truly unique, offering turners an opportunity to produce heirloom-quality items that showcase the best of American hardwoods.

Transform your blanks into showstoppers with these pro-level insights. Our upgraded V2 blanks boast finer shredded plastic for ultra-smooth turning and minimal chip-out— a game-changer over V1. Dial in sharp carbide or HSS tools, crank speeds to 2,000–3,000 RPM, and take feather-light cuts (0.005–0.015 inches) to dodge melting or gummy buildup. Wet-sand from 220 to 2,000 grit, zap pin-holes with thin CA glue, and crown it with Magic Juice polish for that mirror-finish glow. Dive deeper with our guides:
