This Patagonian Rosewood is an extremely hard and dense wood, which offers great durability. Its color ranges from cream to orange tones and over time changes to deep orange/reddish brown. Unique to this wood is its black pronounced striping. It will easily finish to high gloss. Sometimes called Curupay, this is not a true rosewood. Native to Argentina. Due to the nature of wood movement, shrinkage and expansion are possible. Please measure each piece carefully before starting any project. Wood is a product of nature, and as such, no two pieces are alike to start with, while the same wood growing in different locales can vary greatly even though it is the exact same species.
