Does anyone know of a supplier of cross cut zebrano blanks.
Have been making some kits with this timber and my supply has now run out.
Needing some more for a couple of commissions.

Andy show us the ones you have made. I find Zebrano a mongrel timber its furry and the end section is hard to finish really well. Like your enthusiasm mate.

I do as Ray suggested bought a block of Zebrano from here Zebrano Shop | Exotic Hardwoods UK Ltd

It is hard to turn crosscut blanks compared to the rip cuts of it but does turn out well there are a lot of dimples/pores in the wood and the ones I made had quite a few coats of thick ca on it.
