Leopardwood

Latin: Roupala montana Origin: Central and South America

Leopardwood has a unique figure with lighter rays and flecks that resemble the spots of a leopard. It is uniform in color, reddish brown with lighter colored flecks in the figure, similar to other material like Quartersawn White Oak. 

Leopardwood is sometimes confused with Lacewood, which is a different genus of tree (Panopsis spp.). It is typically used in veneer, custom furniture, musical instruments and turned items. Can be difficult to work with due to the high density but glues and finishes well.
