Kingwood, a true Rosewood, has rich & regal purple/black color with interesting golden and white sapwood contrast. This lumber has been carefully kiln dried and surfaced on two sides. There may be a rustic live edge with machete cuts and an occasional check may also be present. Overall, very clean material. Ships to USA only! This piece bookmatch set has some minor end checking at the numbered end. Some splits in the sapwood and numerous pinholes present. NOT suitable for instruments. Must be able to work with!
