This twig vase has been turned from East Indian Rosewood [Dalbergia latifolia]. It is a beautiful, dark, easily worked Rosewood (a true member of the Dalbergia family).The wood is very stable and retains its color virtually forever—onereason it has historically been used so frequentlyfor furniture making.This is an especially fine example of the wood. The turning was finely sanded and sealed; after sealing, Danish oil was rubbed into the wood, followed by hand-rubbing with a combination of carnauba and beeswax in a light solvent. This finish has a very light and transparent quality.
