I have a few wood blanks in my stash marked "Signature" in pencil right on the wood. . This is not a company-printed "supplier" label.
I cannot remember who I got the blanks from. . It was not I that wrote the name directly onto the wood. . Or, if you prefer, it was not me !!
Also, this definitely does not refer to a former pen-making supply company named Signature Pen Supply.
I am quite sure that the name "Signature" is intended to identify a wood species, but Google does not seem to acknowledge the name as such.
The blanks I have show some spalting with color shades ranging from dark orange to brown. . The wood is of medium to low hardness but is not soft.
The blanks are fairly attractive, but not outstandingly so. . The wood has a characteristic smell, which is somewhat "musty".
If you are familiar with a wood of this name, please let me know, and, if possible, suggest an alternate name by which the wood is known. . Thanks.
Sorry for not including a picture. . My camera battery died a few days ago and I cannot find the charger.
