I was given some beautiful pieces of Rosewood (see photo) but am having a horrible time trying to figure out the exact kind. Can anyone give me some help? The photo color is true to the actual wood sample. I am thinking it is Central American rosewood or Honduran?? Thanks!

Nuh, but I'd guess it was one of the Acacias.

Rosewood Acacia binervia GWT
Rosewood Acacia fasciculifera NPQ
Rosewood Acacia glaucescens EA2
Rosewood Acacia rhodoxylon QUT

The color in this photo is true to the wood sample color. I'm afraid that if I alter the photo then you would get the wrong impression about the wood. The darkest streaks are not brown, more burgundy.
