Indian Rosewood Bowl Blank

Indian rosewood is a richly coloured exotic hardwood with deep purple-brown to dark chocolate tones, often featuring attractive darker streaking and a naturally fine lustre. One of the most prized turning timbers in the world, it has a density and depth of colour that produces truly luxurious finished pieces. It turns very well on the lathe with sharp tools and polishes to an exceptional natural finish — a timber that genuinely rewards the maker.
