Working and finishing Zebrawood
Interlocked grain tears out readily, especially across the dark stripes, so light cuts and sharp cutters matter; it also has a moderate blunting effect on tool edges.
A clear film or oil finish shows off the stripe contrast well; open pores benefit from a filler for a smooth film build. Used mainly for furniture accents, veneers and turned objects.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
