Rosewood for gun stocks. I do think this is going down the road of what do we give the man who has everything, eye candy may be?
Rosewood does not have a lot going for it in reality for gun stocks, it is far heavier when you compare it with walnut it does not stand up to shock very well, easy stock cast changing could be between no chance and disaster. Maybe it could be the end for the light traditional English splinter fore end straight hand stock carry me all day game gun if it became popular. More importantly it is slow growing most varieties are on the CITES in danger or protected list. IMHO not for us folks who live in the real world and shoot working guns, it is for those who have more money than synaptic gap function.
Finally the worlds gunmakers for better or worse have had the choice of timbers from the worlds vast array of potential gun stock timber's though Walnut is still the first go to choice, that must mean something mustn't it?
