It takes screws very well, but nailing may split it. It is the Prettiest Rosewood we have ever seen. It grows only in Madagascar. This African Import is a very heavy Rosewood, but some customers like it for solid body guitars. Guitar tops of Red Cedar are the Best Buy today.
Material is very fine with good prices in the market.
We use mostly Curly Cherry from upstate New York. Curly Cherry is not as curly as Curly Maple. It belongs to the Dalbergia family, which means Rosewood. It is one of the pretty woods from South of the border. The wood is very pretty and has all kinds of uses.
