Leopardwood

Leopardwood is one of nature's most dramatic displays — pale golden-brown with bold, dark reddish-brown spots and flecks that genuinely resemble a leopard's coat. The figure is most pronounced on quartersawn faces where the large medullary rays create a spectacular pattern that stops people in their tracks. Despite its exotic appearance it works reasonably well with sharp tools and takes a beautiful natural finish.
