Nicaraguan Rosewood Wood Slabs
A close relative to other rosewood species like Cocobolo, Nicaraguan Rosewood has subtler tones that fit well with woodworkers who prefer attenuated colors for a refined look. Nicaraguan Rosewood, also known as Yucatan Rosewood, has a cinnamon brown color with thin, slightly darker streaks in its grain. This wood is prized for its ease of turning and workability compared to other Rosewoods. Nicaraguan Rosewood grain is more porous and less oily, making it easier to finish and glue together. Its grain is mostly straight with a few interlocks in the board, making it an easy wood to machine and turn into beautiful wood projects.
