Great projects from rosewood. Beautiful. Every piece is rosewood.

The only rosewood in my workshop is the one came with my gent's saw and chisels I bought.

30 years ago I made acoustic guitars. In remaking my shop after 30 years away from it I found a box in the attic of Brazilian Rosewood guitar set that I forgot I had, now an endangered species and protected by lots of laws. When i get back into guitars I will make a few before I ever cut into this set. I think it's plenty seasoned by now huh?

Geesh. looks like rosewood for you is like white pine here in the northeast. It's everywhere. Do you find it hard to work with? I used to have to touch up my plane blade after every session when I used it. Hard stuff.

Not many ppl use rosewood in my country as its hard stuff to work with, especially if we do it with
conventional equipments, if you guys need to see more,please visit my picasa album gallery.

All the best.

Wow!!! The colors in that first picture of wood is incredible, is that natural? or did you help it a little with dye?
I would love to have wood that has that coloring. Beautiful stuff.

Those are gorgeous pieces. I am a firm believer that you cannot put too much wood into a home. Putting rosewood into projects and trim like this is simply wonderful to view.

Thanks for posting these projects. You have a beautiful home and wonderful pieces of furniture in it.

Very beautiful work, thanks for posting it. I can see in the background of the tall cabinet all the stacks of rosewood, it looks like any woodworkers dream, you do seem to be making very good use of it.

Love the legs of that small table! If we don't live to help others (specially those in need), life is senseless. Thanks for sharing!
