If this is the same as african rosewood, I was reading yesterday in the LMI catalogue that it is not an easy bending wood. I also read that it is often sold as bubinga and vice versa.

I am going to get some tassie celerytop pine shortly to have a play with. Might be a contender, as it is a dense pine, fibrous, not too soft, quite plentiful and stable across the grain. Or so i'm told!
