Add striking contrast and unmistakable pattern to your next project with Red Zebrawood.
Known for its dramatic striping and warm reddish undertones, Red Zebrawood delivers bold visual movement that instantly commands attention. Alternating bands of deep red brown and lighter tan create a natural rhythm across the grain, giving each board a graphic, almost sculptural presence.
Ideal for statement furniture, accent panels, cabinetry, musical instruments, and decorative elements, Red Zebrawood is chosen when the wood itself is meant to be the focal point.
