zebrano wood turning blanks available in bowl blanks and spindle blanks.

Zebrano timber (also known as Zebrawood) is an exotic African hardwood prized by woodturners for its dramatic appearance and smooth finishing qualities. Its signature dark brown stripes on a golden background create a bold, high-contrast look that turns beautifully into statement bowls, handles, pens, and decorative pieces.

Zebrano is moderately hard and dense, giving it excellent stability for detail when turned. Its interlocked grain can cause minor tear-out, so sharp tools and light cuts are recommended. Once shaped, the wood sands smoothly and reveals a beautiful surface.

Zebrano takes finishes exceptionally well. Oils such as Danish, tung, or finishing waxes highlight the contrast between its light and dark streaks, while a clear lacquer finish can produce a glass-like surface on smaller turned items. Seal the end grain for best results and a smooth, even finish.

Please note the sizes displayed are approx. Due to timber coming from all over the world starting thicknesses vary up to 1/4 Inch depending on the origin. We use the umbrella guides of 1inch,1.5, 2, 3 & 4inch, but please be aware that all planks are planed one face to highlight the grain and to allow us to see faults which can result in under thickness.
This can result in planks being under the thickness depending on the starting thickness. For example, Oak 2 inch is normally 2.1/8th before we plane which allows 2 inch thickness after we plane and 2x2 spindles or blanks. Native Ash is often 17/8th to 2 inch after drying and before we plane. This can plane to 1.75 inch and result in 1.75 inch x2 inch spindles.
Whilst we always try and maintain the thickest board possible, sometimes it can be under-size.
If you require a finished size of 2x2 we recommend purchasing a larger blank such as 3x3 & machining this back yourself.
If you require sawn spindles or blanks please state in the comments section of the order and we can cut to order in our sawmill. Please note this service can take up to 10 working days.
