You'll be amazed and wonder if this wood is real - the potpourri of swirls, color, and grain are no small matter and Caribbean Rosewood is beautiful because of it. Make some stout projects because it's hard, heavy and dense. But the wood is easy to finish, and looks downright stunning.
Get your hands on a wood you've never tried before! It's simple. Samples are milled on all sides to the standard size of 1/2'' X 3'' X 6'', as determined by The International Wood Collectors Society, and include the shipping cost within the 48 U.S. Each one is labeled with the botanical and common names. Use these to test finishes and stains, to compare color and grain characteristics, etc.
