ROSEWOOD

Rosewood is the timber of various tropical trees, including the Brazilian Dalbergia nigra and other species of the same genus. Rosewood is hard, heavy and usually straight-grained with a red-purplish colour and takes a fine finish making it very popular for cabinet making. Rosewood is so named on account of the rose-like odour of its fresh heartwood.
