Brazilian Tulip Wood

Premium Brazilian Tulipwood Pen Blanks (3/4" x 3/4" x 5-6") Elevate your custom woodturning projects with authentic Brazilian Tulipwood (Dalbergia decipularis). Renowned worldwide as one of the most stunning exotic rosewoods, each premium blank features a striking, creamy-yellow background dramatically streaked with vibrant pinks, deep reds, and soft violet hues. These highly sought-after blanks are perfectly sized for high-end custom ink pens, razor handles, stylus tools, and delicate inlay accents. Because of the tree's small size and slow growth, true Brazilian Tulipwood is highly prized and increasingly rare—making it a perfect choice for creating unforgettable, heirloom-quality gifts. Product Highlights & Specs Dimensions: 3/4" x 3/4" x 5" to 6" long (standard sizing for a wide variety of pen kits). Vibrant Figure: Striking, natural color palette ranging from pastel rose to intense crimson stripes. No two blanks are identical. Premium Dense Grain: As a true rosewood (Janka hardness ~2,500 lbf), it polishes beautifully to a natural, glassy, high-gloss luster. Aromatic Turning: Gives off a distinct, pleasantly sweet floral scent while being turned on the lathe. Important Crafting Tips Gluing: Brazilian Tulipwood contains natural oils. Wipe the blank down with a quick splash of acetone or denatured alcohol immediately before gluing in your brass tubes to ensure a permanent bond. Finishing: Takes CA finish, lacquers, and hard waxes beautifully. Shipping & Compliance Note USA Domestic Shipping Only. Due to strict international CITES Appendix II regulations on raw Dalbergia rosewood species, we cannot ship these raw blanks outside of the United States
