Processing 60 Year Old Indian Rosewood For Guitar Backs and Sides

Thank you so much Bryan for cutting up those boards! I've had them since the mid 80's and they looked old when I bought them at a mid Michigan farm auction!

My name is Leonard Mills and I run Coorg Rosewood Timbers a speciality timber merchant specializing in exclusive Rosewood timber, furniture, exports etc. I know what it is like owning Indian Rosewood. I play with them everyday ❤.

is GALLOUP School , located in Rogers Heights MICHIGAN, if so I go by there many times a week. I even purchased an old ECONOMY garden tractor from there many years ago

👏👏👏

Nice wood. That dark piece looks extremely dense

I just acquired a 1863 decker brothers grand piano (made in 1880) that’s solid Brazilian rosewood. It’s either restore or find another use(s) and really I got it for the legs. It’s solid and the wood is all right about an inch thick. Wondering if there’s anywhere I can call or what to sell some. It’s roughly 80 bd ft. For me, I build furniture and even though it’s beautiful, I think it’s better served being used for a guitar or similar instrument. I work with a lot of historic woods and aim to make the item match the wood and purpose of that makes sense.
