Wood Pen Blanks
Pen blanks are frequently made from off-cuts of wood that would otherwise be discarded.

Pen blanks are usually sized somewhere between 3/4 and 1 inch square by about 5 inches long. This size is adequate to make most any style of pen, although some extremely large or complex models may require a special jumbo blank.
