Leopard Wood
(Roopola brasillensis)
South America
The growth range of the species is limited to Brazil. The Leopard Wood is darker and heavier than its Australian cousin, Lacewood. Leopard wood is also refered to as Louro Faia.
This exotic and imported hardwood has heartwood that is reddish-brown with numerous broad rays present on quartered material, which show against the lighter background as a decorative fleck figure. The wood is straight grained with a fine to medium texture.
