ZEBRAWOOD
$6

Description

Workability: 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.

Color/Appearance: Heartwood is a light brown or cream color 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).

Distribution: West Africa

Handle material (scales) are cut near 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 3/8, but varies. With the complexities of selling natural wood, color, grain, and overall appearance will differ from set to set. If you would like to purchase a set shown in a photo, see “Unique Scales”
