rosewood and rosewood??

[altaciii]

I have a couple of boards I got from a local trim shop. One is Brazilian rosewood. Its dark, very hard and has a distinctive aroma when cutting. It also has many small inclusions in the wood that look like small hairline cracks in the turned wood. Is that normal for Brazilian rosewood? The other is a lighter colored wood that he said was also rosewood. This wood is also very dense and hard. It has a light tan overall look about it but has a distinct reddish grain. It also has a sweet aroma when cutting, drilling and turning. I thought some of you wood experts would be able to give me some insight into the name of the lighter wood. I have attached a couple of pics.

From the pic it looks like Canarywood or Tulipwood.

If it had a sweet aroma then the lighter one is TulipWood.
BTW nice looking pens!

Brazilian Rosewood is no longer imported into the US. Anything you get must be old stock. It is a guitar players neck of choice (if he likes rosewood). That is exactly what it looks like. And nice pens.

I have no idea on the wood id. Alex, but that knot looks awesome off to the side of the clip!
