EAST INDIAN ROSEWOOD

8/22/2021

0 Comments

 
A classic acoustic instrument wood, it's scientific name is Dalbergia Latifolia, a true rosewood.  I have made many ukuleles with this beautiful wood.

It usually has rather straight grain. It bends pretty easily.  Color is typically a bit purplish to brown.  These are book matched pairs, each pair is wide and long enough to make a tenor ukulele back and sides.

And if you are very lucky you can sometimes find the wild grain East Indian like this.
​I have a few pieces for sale.

East Indian Rosewood takes a lovely finish.  This is Eva's tenor getting close to being finished. It is beginning to get a nice shine.
