West African Zebrawood Bowl

Posted in My Projects, Woodturning on May 29, 2008 - Share This Article

Here’s a bowl that I turned made out of West African Zebrawood. Zebrawood, also known as Zebron, has a figure that reminds of a Zebra with its contrasting light and dark coloring.

The bowl is almost 5″ at the top and tapers to 3″ at its base. It is about 2″ high and is finished with Ultrashine and Shellawax.

There is a dark spot near the bottom of the bowl that gives it a bit of a focus point. This might have been a branch at one time.

Here are some photos of different views:


Here is the inside of the bowl:

Zebrawood is fast becoming a favorite of mine. Here is a pen and a candle holder I turned from Zebrawood.
