Zebrano and Chrome Ballpoint Twist Pen
ZEBRANO - Microberlinia brazzavillensis
Also called Zebrawood, Zebrano is a pale brown colour broken up by parallel darker streaks which create the zebra pattern that give this timber its name. Zebrano has a coarse texture, and the interlocking grain is generally straight. With an oil finish, Zebrano can turn a dark brown colour and this one has developed beautifully.
Turned on September 12th 2014 from a very nice piece of Zebrano with streaks of darker grain patterns. I used a few extra coats of boiled linseed oil and cyanoacrylate to finish this pen to retain the warmth of colour and touch of the natural wood and to also try and retain the colour for as long as possible. This pen was made whilst we were moored just past Sutton Stop at Hawkesbury Junction at the very start of the Oxford Canal, it's a historic boating location with the Greyhound being one of the best pubs on the system especially if the log fires are roaring.
