RE: I found Indian rosewood (in reply to Ahmed Flamenco)

Ahmed already has Padouk. Yes, it has big pores and its splintery, so care has to be taken when bending and with general handling. When I lived in Granada 8 years ago, I used a pro French polisher for the finishing. He said that Padauk was the wood where he had seen most cracks. Ahmed, I think you can use all kinds of rosewoods if the set is made of quality wood, is quatersawn and aged enough time. BUT!!! its impossible to say without seing the wood, and a poor quality mobile phone photo on an internet forum says very little. So, you have to learn to judge yourself. Go see the wood, touch it, tap it and listen to it. If you like it and the price is fair, buy it and use it.
