I turn this yesterday it's Leopard wood i really like it. I got the blank on E-bay it was already rounded and pre-drill it didn't take long to turn. Sanded and few coats WOP. I also made the stand it is a rock i found and glue the antlers on. I think it looks like piece a steak.:biggrin::biggrin:

it looks pretty good, the stand is definately unique, I did not think that the rock looked like steak till you pointed it out.

Nice job, I made some pens with that wood and it never met its potential due to the smaller diameter of the pen. looks great on your razor.

Nice looking razor!

One word of caution: CA finish.
I can't tell from the photo if the razor is finished. Since it will be in frequent contact with water, wooden razors REALLY need a good waterproof sealant.

Poly may not be enough protection.

Leopardwood is the same as Snakewood. Lacewood is not the same as these 2. Watch the Leopardwood for the next 6 months as it is prone to crack "AFTER" you have turned it, or so I've been told. I've turned a few Snakewood pens and only have one crack.

Nice looking razor and stand!!
