Zebrawood (Microberlinia brazzavillensis) comes from West Africa and mainly from Cameroon and Gabon. It belongs to the carob plants and has a unique appearance ranging from bright yellow to deep brown stripes reminiscent of a zebra.
Its striking appearance makes it very popular. In the past it was even used in the interiors of Mercedes and Cadillacs.
The wood is hard, dense, and relatively brittle.
