Do we have some great news for you!!!! We have ZEBRA WOOD!!!! And yes, it has just as many stripes as our friend pictured above. 

What we've brought in for you is a quartersawn batch of 4/4 and 8/4 Zebra Wood. They are sold in 3-4' and 7' lengths. 

​Don't worry, no zebras were harmed in the making of this post. 

Color/Appearance: 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/Texture: Has a fairly coarse texture and open pores. Grain is usually wavy or interlocked.

Endgrain: Diffuse-porous; large to very large pores in no specific arrangement, few to very few; solitary and radial multiples of 2-3; heartwood deposits (brown) occasionally present; narrow rays not visible without lens, spacing fairly close; parenchyma diffuse-in-aggregates, unilateral, vasicentric, winged, lozenge, and confluent, and banded (marginal).
