I found a small Leopard wood board I didn't know I had and was able to make 15 serpentine blanks. I kept 1 and sent the rest to Exotic blanks.

Beaut pen terry you are in good hands with Exotic Blanks IMHO a formidable talented guest artists with you there. Thanks for showing. Your Leopard Wood looks like ours by the same name as well as a whole bunch of Silky Oaks they give that distinctive medullary ray pattern.The two owners of Exotic Blanks are friends and have tried their best to put forward the penmaking business and promote excellence over the years.

Sorry Terry, I'm the odd one out! I like many of your blanks but think the patterning of roupala lacewood should stand alone and that mixing a pattern in the form of the lines with a highly patterned wood doesn't work for me.
