Leopardwood
I’ve emphasized how fascinating wood can be, and leopardwood is far from an exception. This wood has a dark brown-pink hue with overlaying spots along the grain that resembles, well, a leopard. These spots are only seen from quatersawn pieces. This is because the when it is cut perpendicular to the annual rings it exposes the rays (what transports nutrients throughout the tree) which in this tree are large enough to create these large spots.
