Bryan Tyler Nelson			BORNEO ROSEWOOD
		Borneo Rosewood - melanorrhea usitata - also know as Rengas Tiger is a large deciduous tree with a straight clean cylindrical bole and a spreading crown of dark green leaves. This species is used in Burma as a source of lacquer used for producing varnish, water-proof or preservative paint, glue, ceramic and lacquerware. Timber is used for furniture and inlay work. Borneo Rosewood has a medium to coarse texture and a straight to interlocked grain, which can yield a striped figure. The wood finishes well and has a lustrous quality.
