Zebrano Bowl Blank

Zebrano is an eye-catching exotic hardwood, instantly recognisable for its bold dark and light striping. The dramatic grain pattern makes it a favourite for statement pieces where the natural character of the wood is meant to stand out. It turns well with sharp tools — care is needed due to its interlocked grain, but when worked carefully it produces a striking, high-contrast surface that truly showcases the timber.
