Bois de Rose

This precious and coveted wood originates from Madagascar. The exclusive Bois de Rose belongs to the Dalbergia genus and is an exotic wood highly valued for its impressive appearance and acoustic characteristics.

In this category, you will find acoustic guitar bridges made of Bois de Rose.

Bois de Rose (Dalbergia Maritima) is a hard and resistant wood. Because it has an excellent grain, it is suitable for the manufacture of musical instruments, including guitar backs and wind instruments.

It has a vibrant magenta or reddish-violet color in the heartwood, sometimes with darker violet-black lines. Its overall color has a tendency to darken with age, evolving to a dark purple almost black.

Origin of Bois de Rose

Bois de Rose is a very exclusive and highly demanded wood due to its limited commercialization after the export ban.

Our stock of this wood comes from a unique opportunity to purchase an old stock stored in the European Union.

It is a CITES Appendix II listed timber due to the restriction that affects most Dalbergia species.

At Maderas Barber, we are committed to nature and that is why it is essential for us to guarantee that the wood comes from sustainable and legal sources and that it has been treated respecting the environment, biodiversity, and the regenerative capacity of the forests.
