Flaky, speckled figure with dark flecks, varying from a small lacelike pattern to a larger splashy figure. Texture is fairly coarse. Moderately hard. Works easy, except for a tendency to splinter, and takes a very lustrous finish. Quite scarce timber.

My Woodworking Dad Was Thrilled
I sent my Dad zebra wood for his 90th birthday and he was really pleased. He says he's never had such fine wood to work with. I was very pleased that the wood actually arrived on his birthday, although it was slated to come several days later - a wonderful surprise!
