Panama Rosewood Guitar Finger Boards

This is a previously undescribed Dalbergia (rosewood) specie from an obscure corner of Panama. Only one small, expensive log was available and we took a chance by buying it.

We also have some 1" and 2" lumber available. The supply is very limited of this rare rosewood.
