Yucatan Rosewood (Dalbergia tucurensis) also know as Panama Rosewood, Nicaraguan Rosewood. Typically a cinnamon brown, heartwood color can be highly variable, ranging from a light brown to a deep, russet brown. Grain tends to be somewhat bland, but darker streaks or swirled grain is occasionally present. Overall appearance is very similar to Honduran Rosewood.
Yucantan Rosewood is easier to work than other rosewoods, most likely on account of its lower density. Yucatan Rosewood also seems to have a lower oil content than other oily Dalbergia rosewoods, so gluing and finishing properties are somewhat better. Turns well and takes a nice polish. Unlike other rosewoods, Yucatan Rosewood has little to no scent while being worked.
It's common uses are turned objects, musical instruments, furniture, and small specialty wood objects.
Yucantan Rosewood comes from Central and South America.
