Brentrocks Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I'm thinking about having a custom Heritage built and a friend of mine has these rosewood blanks that he is offering to me to use if I want. They came from a Luther in Kalamazoo who has since retired. The boards came in plastic bags from a supplier in Canada.... We are not sure how old they are? The label on each bag says "old rosewood fretboards for guitar" Here are all 4 together... What I am trying to determine is if one or all of these might be Brazilian rosewood? So wood experts, time to test your skills..... HERE IS #1 this one is the second darkest and second heaviest of the 4
tbonesullivan Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 what is that "scent"?The scent is why it's called "rosewood". It smells like roses. It's faint, but it's there. I was at BCR music a year or so ago and was talking to greg, and he took out a block of brazilian he got from a desk. not really big enough for a FB at all but could be used for repairs, bridge, etc. he sanded off a bit, and it smelled faintly of roses.
