Zebrano wood (Microberlinia brazzavillensis) originates from West Africa, primarily found in countries like Cameroon, Gabon, and Congo. It's named for its distinctive striped appearance, resembling a zebra's stripes, with alternating light yellowish-brown and dark brown bands.

Physically, Zebrano is a dense and hard wood with a coarse texture, making it challenging to work with but highly prized for its striking aesthetic. Its bold grain pattern and contrasting colors make it a often choice for decorative veneers, cabinetry, flooring, and musical instruments.
