Ebiara (Berlinia spp.), also known as Red Zebrawood, is a hardwood species native to tropical regions of West Africa. It is moderately dense, with a hardness similar to oak and a density ranging between 650 and 800 kg/m³, offering good durability and workability.
Ebiara is prized for its striking appearance, characterized by a reddish-brown heartwood with prominent dark stripes, creating a zebra-like pattern. Its interlocked grain and fine to medium texture give it a natural luster, making it ideal for high-end furniture, veneers, and decorative woodwork.
