Red Zebrawood pen blanks - 1"

Red Zebrawood pen blanks. Approx. 1" square x 5" long - perfect for turning custom pens, key rings, pill holders, bottle openers, and more.

Also known as Ebiara, Red Zebrawood is a striking hardwood native to West Africa. Its bold, contrasting stripes of reddish-brown and darker brown give it a distinctive, exotic appearance.

This wood is generally easy to work with — it turns smoothly, glues well, and finishes to a beautiful natural sheen. Its medium density and straight to interlocked grain make it a reliable choice for pen blanks that combine durability with eye-catching style.

Two fun facts about Red Zebrawood:

• Striped like its namesake – The wood gets its name from its bold, contrasting stripes, reminiscent of a zebra’s coat. In the red variety, those stripes are set against a warm reddish-brown background, giving it a dramatic, exotic look that turns heads in finished projects.

• A durable, dense hardwood – Native to Central Africa, red zebrawood is both strong and naturally lustrous. Its density and interlocked grain make it a favourite for fine woodworking projects like high-end furniture, veneer, and pen turning—where its vivid striping really shines after polishing.
