[QUOTE="lanties, post: 452539, member: 13832"] I actually bought a piece of Rosewood and a piece of Padouk specifically for testing and ripped both of them to 8mm x 70mm pieced and then planed them down to 5mm. The Padouk was definitely a lot easier to work with. The African Rosewood was super hard and very brittle. It is possible that I just got a really bad piece of Rosewood. I have no prior experience with either woods. The Rosewood do have a beautiful grain. I use a Bosch GTX 10 XC table saw with a Pilana 24T blade and a Makita 2012NB planer. Pretty much decent amateur tools. Based on reference I now quickly found on google. They seem to refer to the Janka scale of hardness when referring to wood hardness. Padouk is listed at 1725 and Africa Rosewood varies between 1980-2056. From this it seems that African Rosewood is harder than Padouk. All other Rosewoods are in the region of 2300-3400. [/QUOTE]
