ZEBRANO SPINDLE BLANKS
Microberlinia brazzavillensis. Air and kiln dried.
All dimensions shown are in inches (length x square).
Honey brown heartwood with streaks of black and brown showing the ‘zebra’ stripes on quartersawn timber.
A coarse grained timber with interlocking grain and the odd resin pocket in the stripes.
Coarse and hard to turn, but works to a spectacular finish.
Suited to oil or lacquer finishes, this timber is one of the most striking of the common exotic timbers.
