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 gives 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.

Turned  on October 20th 2014 from a nicely figured quite unique little piece of Zebrano with, rather than fairly even stripes, a clear division between light and dark woods. I used just a few coats of boiled linseed oil and cyanoacrylate to finish this pen to retain the warmth of colour and touch of the natural wood. It was made whilst we were moored outside Lime Farm Marina on the Oxford canal.
