Zebrano Elm 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.

This particular pen was turned on Tuesday 17th February 2015 just around the corner from the Fountain Inn in Tipton, about four hours cruise from the centre of Birmingham. Like most of the visitor moorings locally the towpath is block paviour and makes a pleasant change from the muddy towpaths in the countryside.
