Exotic Wood Facts

Zebra Wood

Exotic Wood USA's Zebrawood is the variety of Microberlinia brazzavillensis from West Africa (which is true Zebrawood). This wood is a hard and durable wood that is used by wood turners & carvers, furniture & cabinet makers, having an average specific gravity of about 0.74.

The heartwood is a striped pattern of pale yellowish and dark brown.  To maintain Zebrawood's sporadic color pattern it is almost always quartersawn.  The wood turns and finishes well, however, the interlocking grain can make it difficult to work.
