Nature's Most Exotic Pattern — Leopardwood
Few woods stop people in their tracks quite like Leopardwood. Named for its striking spotted and flecked grain pattern reminiscent of a leopard's coat, this South American exotic hardwood can turn even a simple woodworking project into a statement piece.
Its warm reddish-brown color combined with dramatic silvery-brown ray fleck and natural figure makes Leopardwood especially popular for projects where the grain itself is part of the design.
Perfect For:
- Cutting boards & charcuterie boards
- Furniture and decorative accents
- Jewelry boxes & keepsake projects
- Inlays and contrasting strips
- Handles and specialty projects
- Woodturning and small craft projects
Why Woodworkers Choose Leopardwood
Leopardwood's signature appearance comes from its large medullary rays, which create the dramatic flecked pattern for which the species is famous. The figure can vary considerably from board to board, making every piece naturally unique.
