Dogwood is a common name for thirty to fifty trees and plants in the Cornaceae family. The most common tree in this family is the Cornus sanguine, a tree you’ll find in lot of Dutch gardens. You can recognize him by his white flowers and black berries.<\/p>\n

The common English name for this tree is, as mentioned before, dogwood, but it wasn\u2019t always. The first known name of \u2018dogwood\u2019 is \u2018dagwood\u2019. \u2018Dag\u2019 is derived from the word \u2018dagger\u2019. Originally the wood of these trees were used as sticks the herd the cattle.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also known as \u2018midwinter fire\u2019 because of the orange coloured wood. Because of it\u2019s special colour it\u2019s used a lot by woodsculptors.
\nBut it was more than \u2018a pretty sight\u2019. During the Victorian period the men presented the dogwood flowers to woman to make their affections known. If a lady returned the flowers, it was a polite way to reject the suitor. However, if she kept the flowers the suitor knew she felt the same.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The wood<\/span>
\nWood of a dogwood tree is so strong that it\u2019s most common use is to make the grip of a hammer and parts of percussion instruments. The best hammer grips are made of dogwood. This wood is not only strong, but also very flexible. It\u2019s also used to make baskets or skewers. Which is ideal when you want to roast marshmallows by the camp-fire on a warm summer evening.<\/p>\n

During the turning-process this wood requires some extra attention. It\u2019s very normal that pieces will break off and knots will appear. So, when turning this, you really need to have your superglue close by, because you\u2019re going to need it. Sure, this wood requires some special attention, but the result is absolutely stunning. There\u2019s a lot of structure in the pen which contrasts with the light colour of the wood. The cracks and knots made in the process only give the pen more character.<\/p>\n
