If you sell wood to turners, pen makers or knife makers, here's what we supply and how we sell it.
We cut turnstock, pen blanks and craftstock from dense Brazilian hardwoods at our own facility in Brazil. Every blank is hand cut to get the most figure out of the wood, not just the most pieces out of a board.
For resellers who sort, grade or repackage stock themselves. Mix products and species in one order, in full or partial container quantities. See our wholesale turnstock program for more.
| Product | Size | What Your Customers Make |
|---|---|---|
| Turnstock | Squares and blocks in a range of sizes | Bowls, spindles, tool handles, small turnings |
| Pen blanks | 3/4" x 3/4" x 5-1/2" | Pens, pencils, bottle stoppers, small turned pieces |
| Craftstock | 1" thick, in a range of widths and lengths | Knife handles and scales, cutting boards, small boxes, inlays |
All three come from the same species, so a reseller can build a matched line: the same wood as a pen, a knife handle and a bowl.
Three ready-to-sell assortments your customers can buy one box at a time. Each box is a strapped crate built from hardwood boards, packed to 70 lb, and every piece inside is hand cut for figure. The crate itself is hardwood too, and its boards can be used as stock.
Boxes are sold by the pallet, in full or partial container quantities. Pallets can mix box types, and boxes can ship in the same container as bulk stock.
| Box | What's Inside | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| Turnstock box | 1" thick, 2" and wider, 17" long | Spindle, pen and small-turning sellers |
| Pen blank box | Pen blanks, 3/4" x 3/4" x 5-1/2" | Pen-making suppliers and kit sellers |
| Craftstock box | 1" thick pieces | Knife handle stock, cutting boards, small craft projects |
Why 70 lb? A box packed to 70 lb or less ships with UPS, USPS and FedEx International without extra weight fees, so you can sell and ship single boxes to your customers by parcel.
Both offerings are cut from dense, tight-grained Brazilian hardwoods chosen for color and for how cleanly they turn and finish. Availability rotates with inventory. Browse the full species directory.

These are the species that typically go into our turnstock and craftstock. The mix depends on what's coming through the mill, and other species are available on request for bulk orders. When available, we also offer bulk pen blanks in Bloodwood, Purpleheart, Massaranduba and Cumaru. No dye or stain required. The colors are natural.
Depending on where you are, you can buy from Rare Earth Hardwoods in the U.S. or direct from our mill, Zero Impact Brazil. Either way it's the same wood, cut and packed at the same facility. Tell us where you're located and we'll route your order to whichever makes shipping and importing simplest.
Specialty wood retailers who buy from us include West Penn Hardwoods, Bell Forest Products and WoodTurningz. If you turn or make pens and want to buy in small quantities, they're good places to start.
The more of this you include, the faster we can quote it.
