This is a sample of the woods and other materials that are available. Each pen is a good representative of each type of wood, but each individual piece will vary. Where there are major variations within a type of wood (for example, heartwood vs. sapwood or cross-cut vs. straight-cut), I have shown pens illustrating these variations.

Any wood can be custom ordered in any pen style I offer, even if that wood/pen style combination is not pictured here.

I have tried to represent colors as accurately as possible, but due to differences in monitors and Web browsers, the color you see may vary. There may also be variations in color from one piece of wood to another of the same type, and some woods' color may change over time.

None of the woods is dyed or artificially stained.
