About Brazilian Rosewood:

The heartwood of Brazilian Rosewood varies from a deep, rich dark brown to a purplish black. Its sapwood ranges from white to tan. The difference between the heartwood and sapwood color can be significant, leading some flooring manufacturers to steam the lumber to bleed the darker heartwood color into the sapwood to produce uniformity in color.

Brazilian Rosewood has a predominantly straight and open grain. On occasion, boards have been found with burled or curly grain. The pore arrangement of Brazilian Rosewood approaches that of hickory and persimmon, but are smaller in size.

Brazilian Rosewood is re-known for its strength, hardness, stability, beauty, and acoustic properties, and has been used for everything from flooring to guitars.

Over the past few decades Brazilian Rosewood has been exploited and over harvested leading to its being placed in the most restrictive category of endangered species: CITES Appendix I. Brazilian Rosewood is prohibited from being imported or exported from country to country. Finished products made of Brazilian Rosewood are also banned from crossing international boundaries.
