Ziricote

Color ranges from medium to dark brown, sometimes with a green or purple hue, with darker bands of black growth rings intermixed. Ziricote has a unique appearance, sometimes referred to as “spider-webbing” or “landscape” grain figure. Quartersawn surfaces can also have ray flakes similar in appearance to those found on quartersawn Hard Maple. The pale yellowish sapwood is sometimes incorporated into designs for aesthetic effect, or to cut down on wastage.
