Thought it combines the appearance and texture of the best Walnut with that of the best Rosewood.  It has a rich dark brown color, with irregular thin, wavy black lines.

 

 

Ziricote is not widely used, possibly because of its limited supply.  Lumber can only rarely be found in wide and long boards, but this makes an attractive top or fingerboard wood.
