Vertex Zebrawood

A friend of mine is absolutely obsessed with zebrawood. So much so, that he went to Rockler and bought a 5-pack of blanks, and gave them to me. So I made pens for him and his wife with two of them. The kits are PSI Vertex click that I bought at Rockler, one in chrome and the other in gunmetal. The finish is Pens Plus. I think the blanks look great with the pens.

Very nice. I really like the gunmetal.

I engraved the names in opposite directions, because Debra is right handed and Jeff is left handed.

I'm a big fan of the Vertex pens and Zebra wood Jim. Nice to see them together and you've done another great job on these. Jeff and Debra are going to love them.

If you can buy a piece of zebrawood cut it on the diagonal and you'll like it even more.

I think I tried that years ago. Early on when I started turning pens, I was enamored with all the (for me) exotic woods.
