    Canarywood Lumber for Sale

    Although technically not a rosewood, Canarywood shares many traits with the much more expensive dalbergias.  Canarywood finishes to a high polish and its density, unique coloration, and grain patterns create a rosewood look at a fraction of the price.  The availble lengths and widths are far superior to rosewood making it a good wood for use in furniture, boat interiors, as well as in flooring.
