In the past two days, I'v sold all three of my India Rosewood bowls. Two of them to one customer in a stand alone invoice. He was obviously looking specifically for India Rosewood. Something must be up.
I see this:

.....but, that isn't very recent.
I do have some India rosewood stashed away, and maybe the price I ask for a finished piece should reflect some (unknown to me) new information about this wood.....?????

The reason for the billion-dollar demand for rosewood - and the subsequent trafficking - has less to do with musical instruments and much more to do with furniture.
In particular, China’s high-end furniture market created enormous demand that led to severe deforestation of several Dalbergia species in Thailand, Vietnam, and several other countries.
