Question: Does it get much cooler than that?My brother recently found this old board in a corner of my parents barn. How old it is, who knows. It's been identified as Sonokeling Rosewood, a variation of East Indian Rosewood by a couple of wood experts. My father spent quite a bit of time in that neighborhood during WW2 and shipped quite a few things back. This could be from then, but again quien sabe?
