Zebrano
Zebrano comes from tropical West Africa, specifically Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo. It is usually processed into veneer, predominantly as sliced veneer, but also as rotary-cut veneer. The sliced wood is almost exclusively processed as “real quarter.”
Zebrano is used for luxurious interior design, in furniture construction, and is particularly popular for dashboards in vehicle construction.The wood is extremely decorative and striking in appearance. It is light gray to yellow, with sharply contrasting, irregular dark stripes that give Zebrano its typical pattern. The wood is weather-resistant and resistant to fungi and insects. It is moderately heavy, moderately hard, elastic, and impact-resistant with medium compressive and bending strength. Fresh wood has a noticeable, somewhat unpleasant odor. The density is approximately 0.75 g/cm3.
Zebrano can be worked well and easily with all tools. Drying must be carefully and evenly controlled, as the wood tends to crack and warp if care is not taken.
