Color/Texture
The heartwood of a beli veneer is light brown with dark colored stripes. The surface of a quarter cut saw looks like zebra wood, with wide edges, light yellow color, no stripes, and a distinct difference from heartwood. The texture is usually interlaced, ranging from medium to rough materials with a soft natural luster.

Comments and reviews
Little zebra is a substitute variety for zebra wood, with a lower price than zebra, but sometimes its color is not as clear and distinct as zebra wood and white ebony.
