ROSEWOOD, BRAZILIAN
Dalbergia nigra
my samples --- colors are accurate throughout
both are veneer from the same lot. The second shot has been carefully color corrected and is quite accurate. This is a very attractive wood, as you can see, and frequently has more red to the color than these pieces.
a couple of really crappy out-of-focus shots of a nice sheet --- I tossed out the enlargements of these since they're just too blury. See the next two shots down from here.
a couple of pieces from the same flitch as the one directly above, but these are nice in-focus pics and I've provided both levels of enlargement because the focus is so good and I've done a better job with the color correction --- this veneer really IS this pretty.

veneer sheets from a large mixed lot --- I spent a lot of time on color-correcting these, so they are quite accurate --- the orange tint on some of them is correct
