Rosewood is the common name of the genus Dalbergia. Species of Dalbergia are found in Brazil and other South American Countries, Central America and Mexico.

Also species of Dalbergia grow in Africa, Madagascar, India and SE Asia.

Known for its strength and dark rich color making beautiful carvings and furniture. Your Botantist at your service.this appears to me to be violet kingwood which is also of the dalbergia species.

It too is protected but somewhat available in the.This looks like Brazilian Rosewood. Super rare and fortunately heavily protected on legal trade anyway.

It is considered the best guitar body tonewood
there is. Even secondhand guitars made from this fetch thousands of bucks! Guitar makers never actually used that much, it was the furniture makers who made this beautiful tree and timber almost extinct.
