Nicaraguan Rosewood Cross Cuts

[FranklinWorkshops]

Here's something you're not going to see everyday. I had a block of this rosewood that had a lot of insect damage. I decided to crosscut it today into ¾" thick slabs. I like the way it came out so much that I'm going to make a set of plant stands for my wife. The block will yield five sets so I will offer the other four to you folks.

This one shown here is a book match. I think it would look cool with a colored polymer in the voids. If interested, my price is $30 per book matched set plus shipping. If you buy all four sets, I'll pay the shipping.

The pieces measure 7" by 5.8"

I think it would be gorgeous as the top of a small box. I've not yet sliced the other sets so let me know if different thicknesses are needed.

I guess we could do that since you're donating your resin and time.

You mean shipping is $7 and handling is $43 right?

I'm done, sorry for hijacking your thread Larry.

Don't worry about it. It's interesting to see what can be done with this wood. Keep suggesting ideas.

No idea. The guys at Hearne told me it came from Nicaragua but Paul's website indicates that this name is used for 5 or 6 different Dalbergias.

Fore sure cast, those will yield some really interesting items.

That sure is some beautiful wood!

These two pieces of rosewood are still available and I'll now sell them for $30 which includes postage to anywhere in the USA.

I have enough of that rosewood block to cut several more sets. If you're seriously wanting a set, I can prep one for you.
