Been buying some rosewood for making pens. I have bought two different lots and none are what I am looking for. What I have bought have been sold as South American - Rosewood, East Indian Rosewood... seen all kinds of labels. What is the dark rich looking rosewood that is almost purple in color and is used on the sides of acoustic guitars? That is what I am looking for. What I have found is very bland brown, has some striping and turned nice but not the grain and color I am looking for. Thanks for any help!
