Is rosewood a hardwood?

1 Answer
Is rosewood a hardwood?
Yes, rosewood is hardwood. It is the preferred wood used for traditional Chinese furniture but is currently endangered and logging is banned. Illegal rosewood logging has caused huge problems in the region where it grows (Madagascar) and throughout the world, with devastating results.
