Depending on whether the wood is flatsawn or quartersawn, the stripes can be either chaotic and wavy (flatsawn), or somewhat uniform (quartersawn).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrain\/Texture: \u003c\/strong\u003eHas a fairly coarse texture and open pores.

Tearout is common. Zebrawood glues and finishes well, though a transparent pore filler may be necessary for the large open pores which occur on both dark and light surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wood","offers":[{"title":"Size : 6\"x6\"x2\"","offer_id":48019468321083,"sku":null,"price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Size : 11\"x11\"x2\"","offer_id":48019468353851,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/files\/zebrawood11x11x2.png?v=1711032210"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/collections\/ZebraWood.jpg?v=1732383468","url":"https:\/\/maacaffestore.com\/collections\/zebrawood.oembed","provider":"The Compleat Sculptor, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
