Color:

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).

Grain:

Has a fairly coarse texture and open pores. Grain is usually wavy or interlocked.

Workability:

The wood saws well, but can be very difficult to plane or surface due to the prevalence of interlocking grain. Tear out 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.

Physical properties:

Zebrawood is hard, heavy and stable, with high stiffness. It has small movement in service. Veneers kept in stock may buckle. The wood has a medium to coarse texture, with a lustrous surface. The grain is often wavy or interlocked. It works well with hand and machine tools, though it is not suitable for steam bending.
