Color & grain

• Heartwood: The heartwood has a golden brown to dark brown base color with pronounced dark stripes that can range from dark brown to almost black. These stripes are usually parallel, but can also be wavy or irregular, giving the wood a unique look.
• Sapwood: The sapwood is light yellow in color and clearly separated from the darker heartwood, but is rarely used.
• Grain: Zebrano has a striking, often straight grain with distinctive striped patterns. In some cases, the grain can be wavy or warped, giving the wood an even more vibrant look. The texture is rather coarse, but even.
