I'm buying furniture pieces. I like dark wood. Where does Rosewood fit in terms of quality wood?
Is there such thing as a quality wood scale?
These days the quality of various hardwood has been replaced by price and rarety. Heavy world deforestation and over harvesting of domestic Hardwoods has put a severe shortage in the traditional and exotic furniture grade hardwoods. The only hardwood and used quite extensively due to adequate supply is oak. You see them used on almost all mid priced all wood furniture but its coarse grain pattern is not suitable for fine furniture. If you like dark wood, Rosewood is fine. I wood also suggest walnut, mahagony and cherry (stained dark). Be Iprepared to pay a premium if you want all wood furniture. You can save money by buying a real Wood Veneer laminated furniture but it's not the same. As far as quality scale, I'm afraid it's tied to the cost per linear foot. Factors that makes it a quality wood is rarity, clarity (no insect damage), cut (quarter cut lumber is more prized since they are very stable over time but yield lower lumber per log), aged to proper moisture content (ideal moisture content is about 15%) and finally grain pattern. Unusual or beautiful grain pattern is prized no matter what the wood species is. Thus level of quality equates to true value price I'm afraid. We own Albright-Zimmerman firniture and were relative expensive made of birch. Craftsmanship is impeccable and the quality of wood will be hard to find these days. We bought it about 30 years ago.
