Bubinga and Chrome Ballpoint Twist Pen
BUBINGA - Guibourtia
An African hardwood also known as Kevazingo, Bubinga may be loved as much for its quirky name as it is for its strength and beauty. Also sometimes called Kevazingo, usually in reference to its decorative rotary-cut veneer.
Bubinga has a close resemblance to rosewood and is often use in place of more expensive woods. Yet Bubinga also features a host of stunning grain figures, such as flamed, pommele, and waterfall, which make this wood truly unique. Bubinga also has an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
This pen was made on the 24th May 2015 opposite Shobnall fields in Burton On Trent. Where we had set up a floating market with fellow boaters from the Roving Canal Traders Association. It was a colder cloudier day than Saturday but quite a few intrepid shoppers came out to see us all.
I made this pen extra chunky because a few people have been trying larger pens if they suffer from arthritis.
