American Chestnut (Castanes dentata) A beautiful burl, presently almost extinct with some small areas surviving in the western US and Canada. The American Chestnut has been almost completely wiped out by a blight that spread in 1904 from New York City. It is quite rot and insect resistant although not blight resistant. Most American chestnut lumber found today are usually recycled from old buildings and fences.

 

This is truly an extremely rare wood.  There is only a handful product made of American Chestnut Burl...we dare you to search online and see how much you can find.


Finished pen size: 21/32" x 5 5/8" and weighs about 2.8 oz. with cap, 1.5 oz. without cap
