tomthielThank You for the history lesson. Very interesting information indeed.Hope you are well and playing good music today.Happy Listening!

tomthiel,

Thanks!  That explains why the grain pattern of the Morado I have is so similar to the Amberwood finish.

But just to be clear:  Do you mean the dark red color of the Morado wood is natural?  I'd always presumed the speaker started out with a lighter color and some type of red stain was added to give the red color.

Jab, your lumber dealer will call the wood Pau Ferro, Bolivian Rosewood or Santos Rosewood. You may find some light colored boards, but the upland variety is more rare. You can bleach the darker wood to match your Amberwood.

Prof, Morado can be quite dark naturally. Thiel generally stained to match a standard sample, so some cabinets may be natural or some stained at varying levels of coverage to match the target.
