Ebiara (Red Zebrawood) – Exotic African Hardwood with Bold, Striped Grain
Ebiara—often called Red Zebrawood—is a striking West African hardwood known for its dramatic reddish-brown color, bold dark striping, and vibrant natural contrast. Its eye-catching figure and warm tones make it a favorite among woodturners, knife makers, and fine craftsmen looking for something visually powerful and truly unique.
With a texture similar to Zebrawood but richer in color, Ebiara features interlocking grain that creates ribbon-like patterns throughout the wood. It turns cleanly with sharp tools, sands smooth, and finishes beautifully, producing a warm satin-to-gloss sheen that highlights every stripe.
