Zebra Wood
Description
Common Name:Zebrawood, zebrano, zingana
Scientific Name:Microberlinia brazzavillensis
Distribution:West Africa
The wood saws well, but can be very difficult to plane or surface due to the prevalence of interlocking grain. Tearout 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.
