Brazilian Rosewood Common Name(s): Brazilian Rosewood, Bahia Rosewood, Jacaranda Scientific Name: Dalbergia nigra Distribution: Brazil Tree Size: 100-130 ft (30-40 m) tall, 3-4 ft (1-1.2 m) trunk diameter Average Dried Weight: 52 lbs/ft3 (830 kg/m3) Specific Gravity (Basic, 12% MC): .68, .83 Janka Hardness: 2,270 lbf (10,100 N) Brazilian 2 Rosewood Modulus of Rupture: 18,970 lbf/in (130.8 MPa) (Dalbergia nigra) 2 Elastic Modulus: 2,100,000 lbf/in (14.48 GPa) 2 Crushing Strength: 9,600 lbf/in (66.2 MPa) Shrinkage: Radial: 2.9%, Tangential: 4.6%, Volumetric: 8.5%, T/R Ratio: 1.6 Color/Appearance: Brazilian Rosewood can vary in color from a darker chocolate brown to a lighter purplish or reddish brown, with darker contrasting streaks. The black streaks can sometimes form a unique grain pattern that is sometimes referred to as “spider-webbing” or “landscape,” very similar to Ziricote. Lighter yellowish sapwood is clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Grain/Texture: Brazilian Rosewood has a uniform, medium to coarse texture with medium-sized open pores. The grain tends to be straight, but can occasionally be interlocked, spiraled, or wavy. Endgrain: Diffuse-porous; medium to large pores in no specific arrangement; solitary and radial multiples of 2-3; mineral deposits occasionally present; growth rings indistinct; rays not visible without lens; parenchyma banded (seemingly marginal), apotracheal parenchyma diffuse-in- aggregates, paratracheal parenchyma vasicentric, sometimes weakly aliform. Rot Resistance: Heartwood is rated as very durable to decay resistance, and is also resistant to insect attack. Workability: Easy to work with both hand and machine tools, though it may have a slight blunting effect on cutting edges. Brazilian Rosewood turns, and finishes well, though it can sometimes be difficult to glue due to its high natural oil content. Odor: Has a distinct, rose-like scent when being worked. Allergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, Brazilian Rosewood has been reported as a sensitizer. Usually most common reactions simply include eye and skin irritation. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information. Pricing/Availability: Likely to be very expensive, and from questionable sources. Trade of Brazilian Rosewood is highly regulated, and sales are generally limited to reclaimed or pre- existing pieces of lumber. Sustainability: This wood species is in CITES Appendix I, and is on the IUCN Red List. It is listed as vulnerable due to a population reduction of over 20% in the past three generations, caused by a decline in its natural range, and exploitation. Common Uses: Veneer, fine furniture, cabinetry, flooring, musical instruments (acoustic guitars, piano cases, etc.), turned objects, and other small wooden specialty items. Comments: Brazilian Rosewood, like other exploited hardwoods such as Cuban Mahogany or Teak, has earned worldwide fame. Historically, it has perhaps been the species most frequently associated with the term “Rosewood,” and with its strength, hardness, stability, beauty, and acoustic properties, it’s easy to see why Dalbergia nigra has been used for everything from flooring to xylophone keys. Due to the high demand and limited supply of Brazilian Rosewood, and its continued exploitation in recent decades, it has been listed in the most restrictive category of endangered species: CITES Appendix I. Not only is the lumber restricted from being imported or exported from country to country, but even finished products made of Brazilian Rosewood may not cross international boundaries. Because of these heavy (yet justifiable) restrictions, several substitutes from theDalbergia genus have been used in recent years, such as East Indian Rosewood,Honduran Rosewood, and Cocobolo; though perhaps the closest rosewood in terms of color and appearance may be Amazon Rosewood (Dalbergia spruceana)—another hard-to-find and pricey rosewood, though not CITES listed as Brazilian Rosewood.

It is locally known as „Rakta Chandan‟. This species occurs utterly in a well- defined forest area of Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. Now included in red list of endangered plants under IUCN guidelines. It contains many other compounds that have medicinal properties. Since the beginning of civilization in sub-continent, this plant is widely used in „Ayurved‟ in India. In recent years different studies showed the antimicrobial activity of the leaf extracts, stem bark extracts‟ from this plant. This review paper discusses the therapeutic properties of Red sandal wood. KEYWORDS: Red sandal wood, antimicrobial activity, anti-ageing agent. *Corresponding author B.
