That would work, I have heard that they are so thin and translucent that you need a light color under the skin so the colors will look right.  One guy took primer and painted the limbs of a black glass bow so the black would not show through.

Here is a set over Bocote', which I think would be very much like Zebra wood.

Forgot there were two of these, thought I had missed when I posted last night.  Sorry for the repeat.
