Bodywoods descriptions by Warmoth

Scroll to the bottom, as it's in alphabetical order.

According to the link, if used to make a body, it has a similar tone and weight to hard maple. But I'm guessing it's much more frequently used for looks... i.e. tops, veneers, etc. I've seen guitars/basses that have zebrawood added... and have seen a few with zebrawood bodies all the way through... but I've never seen any that had transparent dye jobs. I wonder if it's even possible... it looks like a very difficult wood to finish, judging by the crazy grain.
