Exotic Rosewood order and Cherry Decorative Box

Exotic Honduran Rosewood and Cherry Decorative box. 9 x 5 x 2 inches. Rosewood is a tropical hardwood coveted by woodworkers of all variety to create elegant furniture, guitars, and a plethora of decorative articles. The demand by the various artisans has made this media order very expensive. Rosewood has an amazing red/dark coloring for a distinctive alternating grain color. In addition, this wood has a rose like scent. While the tree thrives in a number of tropical environments the Rosewood used herewith is from Honduras. I like to mix Rosewood with more sedate woods such as maple or cherry because a box made completely of Rosewood is just too "loud," or, overwhelming. This box can serve as a nice decoration on an end table, bed stand, dresser. It can also serve as a conversation piece on an office desk as it performs small storage functions.
