Rosewood or cocobolo? Both. Cocobolo is a rosewood, most commonly Dalbergia Retusa. Which has the unfortunate consequence that if you become allergic to cocobolo, you stand a good chance of becoming allergic to other rosewood species as well :(

Thanks Guys, I was hoping for some quality input...
I am now pretty sure it is Cocobolo "brand" Rosewood.
