General Description:

Rosewood is almost pinkish steamed colour when freshly cut but quickly changes to its natural expected colour on exposure to air to light brown with a reddish tinge. Heartwood is formed only in trees of advanced age and there is no visible boundary between sap and heartwood. Rosewood is fairly straight grained with a uniform texture. Rosewood is excellent for turning and polishing. It nails, screws and glues well, and can be sanded, painted or stained to a good finish. It dries easily with little dimensional stability change.
