Leopardwood (Roupala montana) from Central and South America 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; however, this wood glues and finishes well.
Features:
• Straight grain with fairly coarse texture
• Fairly difficult to work
• Tendency to tear-out during planing; sharp tools are a must
• Glues and finishes well

Thin Stock. The thin stock is cut to size from quality, kiln-dried stock. Dimensions are +/- 1/8" of size listed.
