Description

Ball point twist pen hand turned from Zebrawood by Jim Parker, father of Jeff Parker, FEPS Board member.


The distinctive striped appearance of Zebrawood has made it a favorite for decorative pieces. The color ranges from golden-yellow to a peanut butter tone with chocolate veins running through it.


Zebrawood is an exotic wood native to the Western African countries of Cameroon and Gabon. It is a hard wood, with a medium to coarse texture. The Zebra-like appearance is due to the light colored sapwood in contrast with the dark colored grain. Zebrawood is excellent for wood turning, veneer, furniture, pens, and knife handles.

This is a Live Event Item.
