peer agreement (net): +1rosewood Explanation: Feels a bit like a back-translation... Rosewood is indeed a wood favoured for carving. "Rosewood Indian and South American are the main two sources. A beautiful timber when carved and produces a lovely finish. A hard wood, and tends to be a little brittle for fine detailed work. Most expensive. " http://www.ldb.co.uk/woodcv/wcwoods.htm However, I can't establish rosewood as a specific wood (this would justify the rather vague Spanish term though!): Wiki makes this ambiguity clear! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood |
