We are currently sold out of this item.

Product Description

Ebiara (Berlinia spp.) also known as Red Zebrawood is a striking exotic hardwood known for its bold striping and rich reddish coloration. The wood typically features a reddish-brown to deep red base accented by darker brown or nearly black stripes, creating dramatic contrast and eye-catching patterns reminiscent of classic zebrawood with a warmer tone. Red Zebrawood turns well with sharp tools, producing smooth cuts and crisp detail. Its grain is generally straight to interlocked, adding visual interest while remaining manageable on the lathe. When properly dried, it offers good stability and finishes beautifully, with clear finishes enhancing the bold striping and depth of color. Common uses include turning blanks, bowls, spindles, pens, decorative turnings, and accent pieces.

Ok

Came with a few cracks. Tried sanding them out but they re-emerged. Might still be able to use but we'll see. Sent a smaller replacement, which was thoughtful.

I replaced the blank with a blank one inch smaller in diameter and refunded the origional order. Not sure what else I could have done.

Hi,
I have received the ebiara wood turning blank and while I haven't had a chance yet to get it on the lathe, the blank arrived in perfect condition. It was securely packed with another blank and both arrived without any cracks or issues. The edges are sealed with wax, and the surfaces are straight and smooth with no discernable warpage or pitting so it's ready to go. Can hardly wait to begin working on it.
