Why Choose Leopardwood?

Flaky, speckled figure with dark flecks, varying from a small lacelike pattern to a larger splashy figure. Texture is fairly coarse. Moderately hard. Works easy, except for a tendency to splinter, and takes a very lustrous finish. Quite scarce timber.

You're in excellent hands with these cutting board strips, expertly cut from premium kiln-dried lumber. They come prepped and ready for you to rip, cut, and arrange into beautiful color combinations and patterns, allowing you to craft your own custom, handcrafted cutting board with ease.
