Zebrawood is an easily recognizable exotic hardwood that comes from West Africa. It is distinguished by pale cream to light brown coloring with distict brown to black lines throughout.

Zebrawood is strong, stiff and has a high density and is commonly used for guitars, turning projects or other decorative uses because of the unique grain pattern.
