Stunning Zebrano Exotic Hardwood Pen Blanks – Pack of 5
Pack of 5 Zebrano pen blanks, each measuring approximately 3/4″ × 3/4″ × 6″ long (often larger). Carefully cut from a single board, these blanks ensure that each piece showcases unique and striking grain patterns, creating a one-of-a-kind look.
Origin & Rarity:
Zebrano, also known as Zebrawood, is sourced from West Africa, primarily Gabon, Cameroon, and the Congo region. This exotic hardwood is rare and highly sought after, prized for its dramatic, contrasting striped figure. High-quality blanks suitable for fine turning are limited in availability, making them the top choice for artisans seeking distinctive and luxurious results.
Colour & Grain:
Zebrano is instantly recognizable for its light golden-yellow to pale brown heartwood accented with bold, dark brown to black streaks, resembling the stripes of a zebra. The grain can range from straight to interlocked, with a medium to coarse texture and a natural lustre that highlights its striking pattern.
Hardness & Workability:
This dense exotic hardwood has a Janka hardness of approximately 1,410 lbf (6,270 N), offering durability and resistance to wear while remaining relatively easy to turn with sharp tools. Zebrano finishes beautifully, polishing to a smooth, lustrous sheen that enhances its dramatic figure and colour contrast.
