^^Exotic hardwoods are a different sort of thing than we usually encounter...so your caution wasn't misplaced. When I lived in CA we had a great lumberyard and I was able to get some 3/8"X6"X20" pieces of nearly every available exotic including the rosewood on your case. Its interesting to see how some species behave over time with the 3 coats of lacquer I gave each one with the exception of some cocobolo I just polished by hand. This variety of rosewood does remarkably well over time with some darkening but little grain appearance deterioration. Youll be loving it when lacquer is done.
