This is the most popular wood after the Brazilian Rosewood for guitars. Its density is about 1.2kg/m3 and beside its beauty it is very easy to work on
however the dust can be 'spicy' and irritating so cautions should be taken like using face mask with filter when sanding the wood.

interlocking grain .
