Leopardwood - 3/4" x 4" x 24"

Leopardwood (Roupala montana) contains a very conspicuous flecking, which brings to mind this wood’s namesake. Wood ranges from medium to dark reddish-brown color with gray to light brown rays that resemble a leopard’s spots. Grain is straight with a fairly coarse texture. Wood is fairly difficult to work due to its high density and tendency to tear-out during planing; sharp tools are a must. Common uses include veneer, custom furniture, musical instruments and turned items.
