I picked up this set of Indonesian rosewood from Allied a few weeks back.
It is right up my alley visually, and it feels dense like most other rosewoods. I have never laid hands on this type of wood and wanted to get some of your prospective on it.
Also, should I be worried about sanding? I know about taking the proper precautions, et.al, but has anyone had any reaction to this stuff?
To me this set has OM written all over it

Thankyee!

Nice set, should make a visually "edgy" guitar. Since OM's and OOO's are my favorites I would say OM too, edgy suggests a cutaway IMO

That's a really beautiful set. A bit out there for me, but beautiful non the less. I'm thinking some satinwood in the purfling scheme to go with the yellow in the B&S?

To see if you may have an adverse reaction take a little dust, put it on a band-aid and stick it to your leg or arm somewhere for a little while. This will tell you if you're likely to have a reaction, but you shouldn't have a really bad reaction that way. I'm sure you already know what "normal" precautions to take, even if you don't have a reaction.

Make a Jumbo. Give it a nice Sitka/Euro/Red/White/Blue/Black/Lutz/Engelmann/ spruce top, and bind it something dark. Hey...do a fan-fret while you're at it.
