Zebrawood
is truly an exotic wood, used in a limited way for veneer, wall
paneling, custom furniture, furniture trim, inlay bandings,
marquetry, specialty items and turnery. Because of its hardness, it
can also be used for skis and tool handles but that might seem like
quite a shame for such an dramatic, exotic wood species.
More often today it is even seen in a collection of exotic wood floors. Zebrawood floors can certainly add a unique feel to any home decorating project. Just make sure that you don't find it overwhelming, as you'll have it for life. Exotic wood floors are expensive and your not likely to change it like the paint on a wall.
It has a relatively small following of woodworkers that even knows it exists, but those that do and venture to use it, are awed by its dramatic colour banding.
The
Tree: Leguminosae family (Microberlina,
brazzavillensis)Â
Zebrawood is distinctive for its zebra like light and dark
stripes. The term, "zebrawood" is shared by several different
woods with this particular appearance. The most common species
available are from West Africa. They are an equatorial tree of
medium to large size, gregarious, commonly growing in pure
strands along riverbanks. Can grow to heights of 150 feet with
trunk diameters of 4 to 5 feet. When cut it gives off an
unpleasant aroma which disappears as it dries. We kid around in
the shop, that when planing this wood it smells like our sewer
has backed up.
Wood
Description:Â
A heavy hard wood with a somewhat coarse texture, with the
typical so-called zebra stripes, often with an interlocked or
wavy grain. The heartwood is a pale golden yellow, distinct from
the very pale colour of the sapwood and features narrow streaks
of dark brown to black. Zebrawood can also be a pale brown with
regular or irregular marks of dark brown in varying widths. It is
almost always quartersawn to get the exciting alternating colour
pattern and a straight grain. It is a true exotic wood, with
limited availability and relatively high prices.
Weight: 36-45 pounds per cubic foot
Finishing:Â
Difficult to finish because of the dual nature of the grain but
finishes well once it's filled. The wood itself has a lustrous
appearance.
Machining:
This wood is easy to saw but difficult to work with. Of all the
woods I have handled, this rates as the worst to plane. It does
not seem to matter which direction it is feed into a planer, it
tears out badly in either direction. Experts recommend the use of
a belt sander as the only feasible way to get a good smooth
finish. If you receive it presanded, it is relatively easy to cut
to size for all your woodworking projects. Can be glued if done
with care.
Be warned that zebrawood may look like an amazing exotic wood BUT it smells like its name sake.. it is the absolute worst wood I have ever planed and smells like your toilet backed up. Aim to plane it just before you leave for the night and leave the window open to clear the "scent" out before you return.. good luck, Karen
