Rosewood is any of a number of richly hued hardwoods, often brownish with darker veining, but found in other colours.[1] It is hard, tough, strong, and dense. True rosewoods come from trees of the genus Dalbergia, but other woods are often called rosewood. Rosewood takes a high polish and is used for luxury furniture-making, flooring, musical instruments, and turnery.
