I've found leopard wood difficult to cut veneers from. It dulls bandsaw blades pretty quickly. With a carbide blade it works much better. Also, it is definitely very easy to get splinters from. It is beautiful and I will use it again.
I want to renew a broken down an old wood and iron park-bench style bench, what type of wood would you recommend to replace the deteriorating wood on it? They run the length of the bench and mainly make up the seat of it - they're prob 3/4" x 2.5-3" x 4-4.5". It's often rainy where I'm at, and want it to last.
