Indonesian Hardwood





The same tree as Sonokeling rosewood but having darker and heavier wood due to different growth conditions.

Indian rosewood is historically one of the main rosewoods of commerce and was traded alongside Brazilian rosewood for hundreds of years. Felling is now strictly controlled by the Indian government and logs are sold by auction to a small number of government approved bidders only. Export is also stritctly controlled by the Indian government to reinforce the value and precious nature of this timber so that it will remain available for a long time into the future.

Newtonia Hilderbrandttii. Air and kiln dried.

This reddish brown timber is dense and hard, with alternate dark and light lines and dark, fine specs in the medullary rays. A very pretty timber. It works well and to a good finish using CCL polishes.

Pterocarpus soyauxii. Air and kiln dried.

Wonderful bright red to deep orange coloured heartwood with dark streaks. Heart dulls to rich deep brown on exposure to light.
Grain is fairly coarse and interlocking but cuts as though soft so is one of the easier African timbers to work with.
Creates red dust however well cut. Sands and finishes to an excellent shine and depth, especially with CCL polishes.

Guibourtia coleosperma Air dried.

Not a true Rosewood (Dalbegia) but a member of the Bubinga family (but not CITES Listed) and just maybe, the most beautitiful spacers we have.

The colour varies from reddish brown to pink with lighter streaks, some yellow to pale straw colour. Some blanks are reminiscent of Brazilian Tulip. Polishes up really well.

It works just like Bubinga, slightly hard but crisp and takes abrasives well.
