Pen Blank storage?

Wood Knot · Jun 5, 2026

I have a lot of really nice wood pen blanks, I'm thinking that I should seal them with something.

Do any of you guys seal your wood blanks? If so, what do you use and do you just seal the ends or the entire blank?

I have a lot of plain candle making wax, could that be used to seal the blanks with?

Thanks!

I have a bunch and just keep them in some plastic tubs. Never any issues with them.

Unless they are fresh cut green wood, you won't need to seal them. If they are green then you can use wax or a latex paint on the ends to help prevent cracking.
