Hi guys. So I had this blank for a few years. I originally bought 2, they were a "mystery burl". I made 1 right away, and today I made the other. I keep wondering what it is. What I know:
1. It is DEFINITELY a rosewood
2. Smells similar to Cocobolo, but sweeter and a bit more spicier.
3. Looks black but when you take a picture it pops red.
4. It has alot of little sparklies in it, silica perhaps?
5. 1 guy told me he thought it was Brazilian rosewood burl
6. I bought it from an old woodturners estate sale
Here are pictures.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
