Tiger or zebra?

That is Zebra wood, one of my favorites.

Zebra, I just made a small box from it.

I’m thinking about the lid insert for the boxes like Gary just made. I just don’t have anything to bring out the beauty of this piece. This is just brown and tan, no reds or yellows. Makes it hard to match up with anything in my stock. Any ideas?

Reds and yellows sounds like Canary wood, If you have a Woodcraft or Rockler around you can get more Zebra.

Dan, what I meant is that by itself it is pretty, but when you compliment it with other woods, it becomes a standout. Maybe some charro walnut?

My wood money is going to be tight for the nest year with the new saw to pay off and now Momma’s new 3 door fridge. (Peace offering). lol

Rand

You got off lightly. LoL

Use the Zebrano for accent pieces

Beautiful wood, since it is 1” thick, you can re-saw and make one beautiful box!

that is chuzawanna wood…..it comes from the hard and heavy Forrest…when you walk into this Forrest they tell you to chuz your wood and call it what ya wanna…its a very fitting Forrest for those of us who dont know what every type of wood is…very convenient huh…..glad you have such nice friends…put a sign in the front yard…more exotic wood wanted…and not the kind that dances…...unless its toward the saw…enjoy that wood….maybe you should use it to be the first one that you cut…that certain special piece .or a bottle of mountain dew cracked open on the side…the name of the saw could be…’‘THE RAND BAND”...here this saw sing….

It looks like zebra wood. And it’s much too nice to use for barricading the shop door, as you have obviously done in the photo.

Or is that your front door, and you’re just trying to keep your grown children from returning to the nest?

Oh man you found my runaway wood now just please return it to me. LOL

Ike, If you can’t control your wood and stop them from running away, I’m sorry, but I keeping this one.lol

Charlie, When I took the picture with it laying on a dark background, it came out very yellow. The white on the door seemed to give me the perfect colors.

Woodworm, And I just got my wood slicer blade working great on the band saw. We are ready to go on the resaw.

Grizz, Maybe with the new saw, I should take down the sign in the shop that says, “Rand’s Wood Torture Chamber.”

Jamie, You are right about getting off easy. I think I get to stay around for at least one more screw up.

Dennis, you and Jamie are right; Accents it is.

My vote is zebra!
