Zebrano and 24ct Gold Plated Ballpoint 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 pen has alternating layers of boiled linseed oil and cyanoacrylate to give a tough finish but still allow all the grain patterns to show.

This pen was made on the 23rd May 2015 (our 23rd Anni) opposite Shobnall fields in Burton On Trent. Where we had set up a floating market with fellow boaters from the Roving Canal Traders Association. 

We even had time after a busy Saturday to get together for a BBQ
