A little background on rosewood “Dalbergia sissoo” is a fast-growing deciduous tree that can grow to fifty feet high with up to a forty-foot canopy. It has dark brown heartwood and white to pale brown sapwood. The tree has small white or yellow flowers growing in clusters. The flowers produce pods that are green to light brown in color and contain bean shaped seeds. Rosewood is found in the Southwest US and the tropics in Central and South America, Asia and Africa.

The finish contains four coats of Jojoba oil: sanded after each coat. Jojoba oil brings out the unique characteristics of the rosewood. Wood does expand and contract making it subject to slight checking, cracking, and movement. To maintain the beauty of the rosewood Howard Orange or Artisan Lemon Oil Wax is good. Just follow the directions from the manufacturer.
