Hello, what do you think is this: https://picasaweb.google.com/1157931855 ... directlink Dalbergia Granadillo, Granadillo OR Platymiscium Yucatanum, Granadillo, close related to: Macacauba, Panama Rosewood Of course it is dense, hard etc. But has less, or smaller pores like the general Dalbergias I know. Smell....hm I don't know, nothing special.... It defenetly comes very close to lots of the pictures of this stuff: http://hobbithouseinc.com/personal/wood ... adillo.htm What is Dalbergia Granadilo actually? Just another word for Dalbergia retusa? I just don't get it... Thank you so much for any help. Best regrads, Alex |

I think that's just plain Granadillo..... The Rosewood version, which Bob over at RCTonewoods had a little of, is much darker. I have to say thought...Iv'e built with Granadillo and it can contribute greatly to guitar's projection. Good stuff. |
