Pink Ivory Pen Blanks (5 bundle)

The 5 piece pen pack is a good buy. The quality and color are mixed. Usually, one piece is outstanding, 3 are average and 1 is often not so attractive with color and grain. The blanks with poor color are helped with a water based red dye/stain. This wood turns well with sharp tools and finishes to a high gloss.
