Zebrawood Bowl Blanks – 3″

Zebrawood feels firm and a little waxy on the tool, and it cuts with a clean shear once your gouge is sharp. It is a heavy, dense wood, so it holds an edge and a fine detail well on the lathe. The grain can be a touch wild where the dark stripes run, so steady, light passes give you the smoothest surface.

These bowl blanks are cut 3 inches thick, which gives you good depth for a small bowl, a lidded box, or a chunky hollow form. The wood is best known for its bold look. Pale tan to gold base color with sharp, dark brown to near black stripes that fan across the face. Each blank is one of a kind.

• Wood is real zebrawood with a striped, open grain
• Thickness is 3 inches
• Each order is one bowl blank
• Good for bowls, boxes, and small hollow forms

One quick tip. Zebrawood has open pores, so sand to a fine grit and wipe the dust clear before any finish so the dark stripes pop.
