Goncalo-Alves Pen Blanks

Goncalo alves, native to Central and South America, is a dense and durable hardwood admired for its striking contrast between light golden or reddish-brown tones and dark, bold streaks. Often called tigerwood due to its dramatic striping, the wood darkens with age, acquiring a rich, elegant look. Its density and interlocking grain can make machining difficult, but it finishes beautifully, highlighting its natural luster and patterns.
