Descripción
High quality, dense, figured wood from the Brazilian tulipwood tree, Dalbergia decipularis. It is creamy yellow with pink to reddish-purple stripes, and is used in the making of inlay, marquetry, and notably ornate furniture of 18th century France. It was formerly thought to come from Physocalymma scaberrima or from Dalbergia frutescens.
