East Indian Rosewood Woodturning Spindles boast varying shades, from golden brown to deep purplish brown, with streaks of blackish hues. As it ages, the wood darkens to a deep brown. Due to its interlocked grain and density, East Indian Rosewood can prove challenging to work with. Its distinct, rose-like aroma adds to its appeal. A popular choice for acoustic guitars since the 1960s, East Indian Rosewood has become a substitute for the now-endangered Brazilian Rosewood. However, obtaining supplies of this wood has become increasingly difficult.
