 | Nice looking giraffe Jesse and interesting wood - I'd never heard of it - looks a little like a piece of lacewood I have here.

| Nice cutting on a nice piece of wood. I agree with Ian in that it looks a lot like lacewood. I am curious if the same wood has two different names as in leopardwood and lacewood. Here are a couple pens I made recently in lacewood. Doesn't it look a lot like the same wood in both color and grain pattern ? ? W.Y.

| There's another picture of showing some unfinished lacewood http://www.woodzone.com/woods/lacewood.htm I was always under the impression that lacewood was an Australian tree, which is what a number of sites say, including the one above, calling it "Cardwellia Sublimis" This site gives both lacewood and leopardwood as different trees both coming from S America and here the botanical name of lacewood here is "panopsis rubellens". http://www.woodworkerssource.net/Mer...cewoodConfused ? I am!
