The two faces of Zebra Wood...
Are there different types of Zebra wood? How can it look so different put on knives by folks just a couple miles apart?

Hello Mike,
Well according to this website : http://images.google.com/images?client= ... CCAQsAQwAA
There are several faces to Zebra wood ..... I would guess it is how it is cut, just like quarter sawn oak vs. oak planking ???

Re: The two faces of Zebra Wood...
I think the term "zebrawood" refers not to a specific species so much as to various species that have a zebra striped grain pattern. So there will be variation in the actual look of zebrawoods.
