Years ago on Wall Street in NYC I did some carpentry work during summer out of college. My job for 1 week was to sand fine a wall made from Brazilian Rosewood which was 12 feet high x 25 feet wide. Very tough to work with and I had to be very careful not to gouge the wood with a belt sander.

When completed it was the most beautiful natural grain wood I had ever seen used in this manner.

How many Brazilian rosewood trees are cut down each year?

Rosewood was banned from being cut down in 1978 or 68 im not sure,so not the value of the rosewood in circulation is getting more expensive.i think, ( im not to sure) its around £50 per cubic inch.Although it is illegal to cut it down, there are propbably some rogue people out there who do still cut it down so its possibly impossible to get an accurate amount of how many trees are cut down.I hope this helps a little.Kind regards from a 20 year oldJamie ( nottingham) UK

Does Fender make a guitar neck with Brazilian rosewood?

Fender Guitar Co. did make Stratocasters, Telecasters and other models in their line which had a Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard laminated to a Maple neck. The most desirable of these were manufactured in the mid late 1950s into early 1960s, before Leo Fender sold the company to CBS records circa 1965-66. They were known unofficially as 'Slab Boards' for their thick rosewood component as opposed to 'Veneer' which was a later, thinner version. Slab boards are recognizable at the nut and but end of the neck where the rosewood to maple joint appears as a straight line, not a curve matching the fingerboard radius. 1965 L series Stratocasters are considered among the best sounding Slab Boards and command prices in the Tens of Thousands of dollars in clean original condition. In 1968 Brazilian Rosewood supplies declined worldwide and production dwindled accordingly. Later necks were fitted with Indian Rosewood, which can be lighter, less dark chocolate in overall color, and has a characteristic open grain structure at the surface. Modern, high end Custom Shop examples claim to be available in limited editions with 'Brazilian Rosewood' but whether it is true Dalbergia Nigra, or a similar looking species from Madagascar, rather than Brazil is difficult to determine. Due to it's scarcity, it is unlikely that all the examples of quartersawn, straight grained Brazilian Rosewood that have been turning up are genuine. Dalbergia Nigra has close relatives not on the endangered list, which look and act identically to Brazilian Rosewood. Tree species experts have a hard time determining one from the other in the lab. *If you travel, be aware that Customs Agents worldwide are able to seize anything they care to identify as being on the endangered list: Brazilian Rosewood, Ivory, Abalone & etc., and proving your particular case to be otherwise is nearly impossible on the spot. Exotic look a likes are just as easy targets as original endangered species. Agents generally do not distinguish between items manufactured before bans went into effect. -David Rizzuti Somerville, MA
