craft supplies woodturning

ToolPost.co.uk, the premier online resource for woodturning, woodcarving and other wood craft equipment and tools, is proud to present an exciting and unique product for pen-turners: Tigerwood. This timber-based product is sure to inject individuality into any pen or pencil making project thanks to the kaleidoscope of colours dyed into the Tigerwood timber. The strong laminate of beautifully dyed timber is impregnated with phenolic resin which ensures it does not suffer the chipping and delamination of similar yet inferior products on the market.

The beautiful Tigerwood timber product, newly discovered by ToolPost, is the perfect material for all sorts of project work: key fobs, perfume dispensers, and particularly pens and pencils. The phenolic resin makes it a clean turning timber: tough and durable; while the stunning array of colours dyed into the timber make for striking and eye-catching designs. Choose from a blue with yellow colourway or a yellow with blue; a red and grey or a red multi-coloured; a bright multi-coloured or a pastel mix colourway.

ToolPost stocks a wide range of both pen blanks and project blanks made from Tigerwood, perfect for the production of attractive and unique pens and pencils as well as a plethora of other items, from salt and pepper shakers, to key fobs and decorative eggs. The Tigerwood pen blanks are 19mm (3/4 inch) square and come in a choice of lengths so that you can personalise your pen project to your precise requirements. ToolPost’s Tigerwood project blanks are 45mm (1.3/4 inch) square blocks, 80mm (3.1/4 inches) in length: substantial enough to turn into larger items such as perfume dispensers, or to give a chunky finish to smaller items such as key fobs.

The striking beauty of Tigerwood has to be seen to be fully appreciated. ToolPost.co.uk has clear colour images of the full colourway range, as well as some photographs of pen kits made in this amazing material. On the ToolPost website you will also find acrylic pen blanks and a whole host of kit for pen-turners. And of course ToolPost stock a wealth of tools and supplies for all sorts of wood craft projects, particularly wood turning tools such as woodturning lathes and woodturning chucks, as well as woodcarving tools, wood finishing products, tool grinding and sharpening equipment and a host of essential accessories such as respiratory equipment.
