AKA Indian Rosewood, shisham, sisu, tahli, Irugudujava, or Jag
I've scrounged a sideboard which is made from this.....
according to what I can find on the net its a rosewood, with far less allergy issues than Cocobolo......
anyway, I've just made a fretboard for a mando from a drawer front.
the smell!!!
as it was going through the band saw it smoked a little.... no scorching on the wood, so it must have been the oil in the wood..... but it smelled like a joss stick!
really sweet and cloying..... never had the like of it before....
anyway, I'll let y'all know whan it's done!
