Leopardwood Dimensional Lumber

Leopardwood is an exotic hardwood prized for its dramatic, spotted figure that resembles the pattern of a leopard’s coat. Native to Central and South America, Leopardwood has a medium to dark reddish-brown color, with distinct flecks or rays that shimmer when the wood is quartersawn—giving it a bold, eye-catching look.

Dense and heavy, Leopardwood is ideal for fine woodworking, turning, and decorative applications. It’s commonly used for knife scales, pens, inlays, musical instruments, and high-end furniture. While it can be challenging to work with due to its density and interlocked grain, the end result is always rewarding with a smooth finish and unique visual texture.

Leopardwood is perfect for makers looking to add a touch of wild elegance and sophistication to their projects.
