So a new breeder and I entered a deal where I would send him about $50 worth of grapewood to pay for the shipping/handling of a leopard gecko.

My question is, who pays for the S/H of the wood? Do I cover that or does he? Is there a usual etiquette here or is it something we work out between ourselves?

We're both pretty new at this. I haven't raised the question with him yet.
 
Generally, the person offering something in trade covers shipping of that item. While other terms are possible, they would need to be addressed prior to any agreement (not after).
 
IMO You would cover the shipping of the grapewood.
Unless the two of you come to a different agreement.

Typically, in trades, each of the involved parties pay shipping for the items/critters that they, themselves, are trading.
Again, this is the norm unless another arrangement is agreed upon.
