Other than of course Brazilian Rosewood as normally thought of, what are the woods from there in the rosewood or any other catagory if any? Do they all have CITES restrictions?

Well Stan my friend I am no wood expert but I have been wanting to try Brazilian Cherry and Kingwood. Not sure but Amazon RW may be found in Brazil too. I don't think that any of these 3 are CITES listed.
