Zebrano Square Edge Board

Description

Zebrano Microberlinia brazzavillensis Square Edge Board

Heartwood is a light brown or cream colour with dark blackish brown streaks vaguely resembling a zebra’s stripes. Depending on whether the wood isFlatsawn or Quartersawn, the stripes can be either chaotic and wavy (flatsawn), or somewhat uniform (quartersawn).

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
