Reviews for 1-3/4" Leopardwood Pre-Cut Squares

I sent my Dad zebra wood for his 90th birthday and he was really pleased. He says he's never had such fine wood to work with. I was very pleased that the wood actually arrived on his birthday, although it was slated to come several days later - a wonderful surprise!

Absolutely love this for face grain cutting boards even though you'll be sharpening your knives more often. Looks great and is a stand out when finished. All of my pieces had great spotting.

It's what I thought it would be and I'm very pleased with it.

The leopard wood I received was of the highest quality. Very pleased with the quality. I will be purchasing all types of wood in the future.

Turned it down on the lathe relatively easy, just made sure to sand down a lot,

Dense wood that turns pretty easy. The actual wood was not as visually interesting as the pictures. I made handles for pizza cuter and pie serving set. Turned out ok.

Showed up intact and no dents or deformations. However only 2 of the boards I ordered had actual spotting.

As all the squares I received, they were outstanding.

perfect

Great for pepper mills or candleholders.

Thought I would try making some knife handles out of this wood. Never used it before. I liked the pieces they sent me. Used 6 coats of GF armrseal and they look great. Very happy, might buy more.

When I ordered the Leopard wood turning spuares i was hoping for larger spots like the pictures that were on line, the spots are very small not very visible.

I would make sure to learn about the Grain in this wood because the direction you cut makes all the difference I look at this wood under a magnifying glass .It has strange Orange Lines running through it and you get the best effect if you cross cut through the grain you get in Long gated lines. Sanding was interesting you have to really pay attention what direction you sand

I bought this with specific plans on experimenting with the grain for a stringed instrument neck. I have yet to start.

The Leopardwood Furniture Squares: 2" x 2" x 30", are top quality, I know the unusual grain in Leopardwood will set the project I use them in a highly viewed aspect, when I combine them along with some of the other figured species of high quality wood - The whole project will be an "eye catcher", Leopardwood has such a cool grain pattern when used with mortise and tenon joinery, it makes the project come to life = Top Quaiity

Great

I was really happy to see the Leopardwood squares were cut from kiln dried 8/4 lumber and not cut from green lumber and then K.D! I will order your squares again

Very nice wood. Texture is better than online images. Descriptions of hardness and use are exactly correct.

Fantastic spots on these blanks. I can't wait to start turning.

received some wonderful squares today from you. ordered leopard bubinga and zebrawood. all were perfect.

Sure looks like lacewood to me. I like the looks, but it's not a top turning wood. Keep those tools sharp. It can splinter a bit much. I made some beautiful file handles, and it seems to finish up real nice.
