I have some really nice, rare Honduras Rosewood blocks for sale. These are natural, not stabilized blocks. Rosewood burl is one of the few burls that doesn't require stabilizing. It is very oily and dense, hard and quite stable.
These are premium quality figure; full burl eyes, swirls, twists and color bands and two tone sapwood. A few pieces have some very small surface checks (pretty much the expected norm with rosewood burl) that will be easily filled with minimal effort. All in all, these are high quality pieces, quite solid with very few flaws. Nice big blocks too.

These last 4 blocks are a little bit odd cut sizes, slightly smaller, and #13 has a larger check in the face. Still very nice blocks but the prices have been marked to reflect the variances.

The pictures I took of these yesterday don't really show the blocks off the best. I took two new pics of 4 of the above blocks, one dry with nothing on them and another one lightly oiled. The pics are in direct sunlight and show the true figure and color of the blocks much better. The blocks are (left to right) #1, #5, #7 and #10 from the above blocks.
