Zebrano Fountain Pen
This is a lovely Fountain Pen is made from a piece of recycled Zebrano with Gold Plated fittings. The finished pen is “pillared” meaning that the cap can be screwed on the back of the pen to extend it for anyone who likes to use a longer pen. The nib has an iridium point and the pen comes in a black velveteen pouch (or the chance to have a black velvet pen box with white and blue interior as an added extra) and three ink cartridges to get you started.
Please make sure that you inspect all of the pictures as this is the pen that is for sale and the one you will receive.

About the Timber
This wood is also known as Zebrawood due to the colouration of brown or cream with dark blackish brown streaks vaguely resembling a zebra’s stripes. Depending on whether the wood is flatsawn or quartersawn, the stripes can be either chaotic and wavy (flatsawn), or somewhat uniform (quartersawn) with the stripes being various widths.
The wood has a fairly coarse texture and open pores with the Grain usually wavy or interlocked. The wood saws well but can be very difficult to plane or surface due to the prevalence of interlocking grain. Tearout is common. Zebrawood glues and finishes well, though a transparent pore filler may be necessary for the large open pores which occur on both dark and light surfaces. The grain can sometimes be felt through the finish. It is becoming a rare timber due to the decline in its natural range.
