So in 7 days I leave for Belize,Honduras and Cozumel....so of course in my imagination while strolling through some local market place I will stumble across some chunk of Rosewood Burl that I will snatch up at a dirt cheap price...obviously reality is often times different from fantasy. But many of us have taken advantage of trips to Hawaii and returned with a small stash of Koa.. So I start to use a little Google Fu to see if 1..I'd be able to find any , or maybe a dealer that I could snag a deal from and 2) Will customers let me bring it back in to the US through the Cruise Port. I found this article on the Rosewood trade and it's an interesting read...worse part about it..........The Minister burning 200K worth of Illegally Harvested Rose....never understood that I mean damn! Confiscate it , sell it and fund your battle against smuggling. On that note, anyone have any experience bringing processed wood item back into the US from abroad?. I've brought back finished wood items before but never a chunk of wood.
