What is the difference between a rosewood and a maple fretboard?

Basically the only difference is the feel and the tone. Maple fretboards have a more soft feel and have a brighter and more edgy sound. If you have a rosewood fretboard, the sound will be a little more mellow and have more of a harder feel on your fingers.
