The heartwood is a light golden-yellow or pale yellow-brown in color, with narrow-veining or streaks of dark brown to almost black. Zebrano exhibits a wide range of colour variation and as the name suggests, it gives a zebra-stripe appearance. This type of species is typically sold in a quartered selection to maximise the contrasting striping. With distinct brown/black lines alternating between a tan coloured background, Zebrano is primarily used for design accents.
