Rosewood Oil Guide

Rosewood refers to any of a number of richly hued timbers, often brownish with darker veining, but found in many different hues. All rosewoods are strong and heavy, taking an excellent polish, being suitable for guitars, turnery (billiard cues, the black pieces in chess sets, etc), handles, furniture, luxury flooring, etc.

In general, supplies are poor through overexploitation. Some species become canopy trees (up to 30 m high), and large pieces can occasionally be found in the trade....
