LEOPARDWOOD
-
(Dalbergia cearensis)
Leopardwood is an exotic wood with dark
reddish-brown color with strong broad rays. This material is straight
grained with medium texture. The highly flecked decorative surface makes
this wood ideal for furniture and accent work.
Leopardwood is from Brazil, South America
This wood is often confused with Lacewood from Australia. Lacewood is a
lot lighter in color and weight and the "flecks" are much larger.
Woods used to accent are Bloodwood (red), Bocote (yellow w/black
stripes) and Yellowheart (yellow). |
