Borneo Rosewood 28-39
Borneo Rosewood is a rare type of red colored wood from the island of Borneo and also Southeast Asia (Thailand, etc). It is considered the best wood to keep a red color over a long period of time. The wood is quite dense and polishes very well. The darker pieces turn a sort of cranberry red over time. The pieces that are more orange turn a red color over time. Note that the pictures shown pieces that are recently cut, they have not had time to turn to a deeper shade yet. It does not tend to turn brown, making it quite unusual. This is not a genuine rosewood (which all have a latin name starting with "dalbergia") and for that reason it is allowed to be shipped worldwide.

African Blackwood AtoH
African Blackwood, a genuine rosewood, is well known for millenia and is likely what the Ancient Egyptians called "ebony". It has a very fine grain, takes a glass like polish and is well suited for ornamental turnery, woodwinds, and anything that involves fine detail. It cannot be shipped outside the USA due to international trade restrictions on all genuine rosewoods.

Brazilian Kingwood
This is Brazilian Kingwood. It is a genuine rosewood and becoming rare in quality pieces like these. Last time imported was about 5 years ago, but that was just a very small amount and before that it was many years prior for the last time allowed out of Brazil. We hope it will be allowed out of Brazil again, but the current situation is that we will likely run out in the near future.

Brazilian Tulipwood 1to9
Dried Brazilian Tulipwood with selected best color. This wood is gone or nearly gone from the market (and our shop). We don't know if anyone will be able to import more or not, Brazil stopped exports around 2014 and has allowed no more out since then. Brazil currenly has a plan to ban all wood exports after 2028. But actions in the country make it unclear if they'll do that. If they do implement this it would mean the following woods would not be available: Bloodwood, canarywood (for the most part), Purpleheart (for the most part) and many more. NOTE: we cannot send this wood outside the USA due to strict CITES regulations.

Cocobolo 2x2x12's, 70 to 81
Beautiful Cocobolo which is a genuine rosewood. It is severely limited in supply and only comes in small amounts through a permit system. Supply could stop at any time but for now we are lucky to have this rosewood again, after some years of not being able to get new pieces. These pieces are dried and unlike most sold on the market they have been checked (including the ends!) for checks or cracks before being sold.
