They are true rosewoods indeed, as defined so by the scientific community, as Genus - Dalbergia. <br /><br />Additionally, "Cathedrals" exist in all forms of lumber. They are not prone to be greater in Brazilian Rosewood at all. Cathedrals, known as flatsawn/plainsawn figure in the woodworking industry, results only from the orientation of the log to the sawblade when being milled. All species of wood can and do have cathedrals. Additionally, the contrast between sapwood and heartwood is the same for nearly all rosewoods. Again, it's only a matter of how one mills the wood. Cocobolo and Sonokeling indeed have truly white sapwoods.<br /><br />A good way for a woodworker to tell if their wood is a true rosewood is to explore the wood when working it. Does it have and oily/porous surface with pockets of oil within the cellular structure that occasionally burst into a cloud of green smoke? Does the wood indeed smell like roses (where the name Rosewood came from)? Is it hard and brittle? Does it take a high polish?<br /><br />Good article but perhaps explore what's wrong with the rosewood industry itself (google Rosewood Massacre to understand and appreciate the phenomenon of over harvesting the rare wood and see what species are gaining value under FSC protection).Jeffuardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614831050697568535noreply@blogger.com
