Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) Pen Blanks

Jatoba, also known as Brazilian Cherry, is a dense and durable hardwood native to Central and South America. It features a rich reddish-brown color that deepens with age, often accented by darker streaks and a subtle golden sheen. Jatoba is prized for its exceptional hardness, strength, and natural luster, making it ideal for flooring, furniture, and high-wear applications. While its density can make machining more challenging, it finishes beautifully and takes stains and polishes well, revealing a deep, refined surface. Its excellent durability and vibrant appearance make it a favorite for both functional and decorative woodworking projects.
