This pack of 20 pen blanks includes three great rosewoods and a rosewood in name only. There are five pieces of each in the SFRB and they measures ¾ square by just over 5" long. The three true rosewoods are the Mexican, Honduran, and East Indian. The photos are accurate as to color and grain.

The Santos rosewood is actually a member of the legume family and is often called Bolivian rosewood. It has the working characteristics and beauty of a true rosewood but is not in the genus Dalbergia. A great link for understanding and appreciating these rosewoods is http://hobbithouseinc.com.

These are beautiful pieces and the photos are of the actual ones you will receive. The price is $45 plus shipping of $7. There will be a few more packs of rosewoods offered today with different assortments.

This next pack of 20 consists of six East Indian Rosewood, six Mexican Rosewood, five Honduran Rosewood, and three Cocobolo. All are true rosewoods in the genus Dalbergia. The photos are as close to the actual color as I can get. All pieces are 3/4 square by 5.1 long and ship in a SFRB.

Price is $45 plus $7 for mailing. This offer is also listed in my Etsy store for slightly more because of the Etsy sales fees.

Larry, I will take this offer if you can combine the shipping and ship the 40 blanks in a USPS Priority Mail padded envelope . I have received blanks before shipped that way..........Put a lot of tape all around the edge of the envelope. Let me know if this will work for you. The wood looks great.

Joe, no problem. Which of the two boxes shown above do you want? You have the other box on order from yesterday which included the bear's claw maple and the crazy bubinga. Can mail them today. I'll send you a PM.
