New Guinea Rosewood



A Hardwood from South East Asia, New Guinea Rosewood, is highly sought after for use in furniture and veneers. Rosewood timber features a medium texture and a variable grain which often contains “burrs” which are highly prized for the making of furniture. The Heartwood is sometimes either a golden brown colour or a dark blood red.
