Rockler Zebrawood by The Piece

The distinctive striped appearance of Zebrawood has made it a favorite for decorative inlays and veneers. The color ranges from golden-yellow to a peanut butter tone with chocolate veins running through it. The wood is hard dense and extremely tough. These thin boards are machined S4S to 1/8″ and 1/4″ thicknesses eliminating wear and tear on your planer. You won’t have to worry about tearout which is difficult to prevent when planing thin stock. Thin boards are ideal for edging veneering inlay marquetry sides for decorative boxes bending stock bent laminations and whatever else your imagination can dream up Lumber Details: Native to: West Africa especially Gabon and Cameroon.
