Visual & Workable Appeal

Special Considerations
🔧 Workability Tips: Ebiara is dense and sometimes interlocked—use carbide tooling, take light passes, and pre-drill when joining to avoid splitting or tearout.
🌱 Sustainably Sourced: Ethically harvested from Central and West Africa, Ebiara offers the richness of true exotics while supporting responsible forestry.
📚 Material Insight: Often nicknamed “Red Zebrawood” due to its dramatic figure, Ebiara is prized by luthiers, turners, and furniture makers seeking high visual payoff with solid working properties.
