Wood Info Needed

[kooster]

I usually include a small business size card with a brief "informational" segment about the wood in the blank of the pens I make. I'm having some problems finding any relative info about Burmese Blackwood.
Can anyone direct me to a site or resource that can provide me some factual info about this wood?
Thanks so much.

From the woodcraft website: "(Dalbergia cultrata) This member of the rosewood family from South East Asia is dense and hard but carves, turns and polishes well. The heartwood is dark blackish brown with sections of dark red with black or purple streaks"

Best I could do right now.
