Looks good, but it sure looks like Tulipwood!!

I have never seen "bois de rose" however.

 

[DCBluesman]

Bois de rose is a generic term (in French) for rosewood.In the states, we tend to use bois de rose for Madasgascar rosewood, dalbergia maritima. This one is dalbergia frutescens, or what we refer to a (Brazilian) tulipwood.
