S4S Zebrawood Lumber
It's hard to beat the visual drama displayed by Zebrawood!
The name says it all! Zebrawood has light brown and dark brown steaks that resemble the coat of a zebra. You’ll find anything from straight quartersawn surfaces to chaotic cathedrals seen in flatsawn material. Also known as Zebrano, this popular wood is commonly used for furniture, tool handles, and even skis.
The wood is prone to tearout due to the often interlocking grain but saws well enough. It glues well and takes finish well though a clear pore filler is needed for a smooth finish. This is another wood that has a notoriously unpleasant smell with worked.
Where is Zebrawood from? West Africa. It is a KJP favourite wood and we look forward to seeing what you build with it!
If you would like to do the milling yourself - try our 4/4 Rough Cut Zebrawood Lumber for a more budget friendly version.
