I need to know what kind of wood is this.

My partner and I work in lutherie, and we prioritize sourcing reclaimed wood—specifically Brazilian Rosewood (*Dalbergia nigra*).

We bought a bed advertised as being made of Rosewood, but when we cut into it, we didn't detect that characteristic scent (anyone familiar with the wood knows it well). However, the grain and figure look very similar; the wood is very strong, heavy, and hard.

A Google Lens search suggested it might be Pau-Ferro, Peroba-rosa, or Sucupira, but we haven't been able to confirm any of these with 100% certainty.

We would appreciate opinions from anyone who works with wood. We would also be grateful for any tips on identifying Brazilian Rosewood in particular.

Preciso saber que madeira é essa

Boa noite pessoal!

Eu e meu companheiro estamos no ramo da luthiera e priorizamos a compra de madeiras de demolição em peças principalmente de Jacarandás da Bahia (Dalbergia nigra).

Compramos uma cama anunciada como sendo de Jacarandá, mas ao cortarmos, não sentimos aquele cheiro específico (quem conhece a madeira sabe). Porém, os veios, padrões de desenho, se parecem muito. É bem resistente, pesada, dura.

Ao pesquisar pelo google lens, mencionaram a possibilidade de ser ou Pau-Ferro, ou Peroba-rosa, ou Sucupira. Não conseguimos achar que fosse nenhuma dessas com certeza 100%.

Gostaria de opiniões de quem trabalha com madeiras no geral. Também agradecemos se puderem compartilhar dicas para a identificação de Jacarandás, principalmente.

Obrigada!
