Zebrawood is an exotic hardwood found mostly in central Africa, particularly in the tropical rainforests of Cameroon, Congo, and Gabon. Other sources of zebrawood include Central and South America, Asia, and the Pacific, although the African Zebrawood (Microberlinia Brazzavillensis) is the most frequent and valuable kind.

Appearance: Zebrawood is valued for its stunning striped appearance. The heartwood is delicate golden yellow with dark brown to black streaks that look like zebra stripes. Quarter cutting the wood enhances the stunning pattern.

Properties: Zebrawood is a strong, hard, and durable wood with a slightly gritty texture and an interlaced or wavy grain. It is well-known for its high stability and outstanding finishing properties.

Uses: Zebrawood is a popular choice for furniture, cabinetry, veneer, and other high-end applications. Its exceptional hardness makes it suitable for tool handles, boatbuilding, and even skis.

Availability: Zebrawood is an imported product that may be more expensive than domestic hardwoods. However, it is commonly available at lumberyards and specialist wood suppliers.

Here are some extra factors to consider while using zebrawood for your project:

Sustainability: Zebrawood is listed on CITES Appendix II, which implies that international trade is controlled to safeguard its survival. When acquiring zebrawood, make sure to find a provider who can give documents proving that the wood was harvested legally.

Workability: Zebrawood can be difficult to deal with due to its hardness and interlocking grain. To avoid tear-out, use sharp tools and follow precise practices.

Finishing: Zebrawood works nicely with a variety of treatments. To obtain a flawless finish, however, you must first pre-fill the grain.
