This is an old Danish teak desk "hack" acquired as part of an auction lot.
Someone has painted out the drawer and base in a flat black and applied a very lovely veneer and solid edge to the top. Sorry for the crappy iPad pics.
I know it's a rosewood but would like confirmation on the type?
Thx in advance to the wood experts on the forum.
Cheers,
Susan

It appears to be. Brazilian Rosewood. If you have reason to suspect it is a different species of Dalbergia, you will likely need a degree in the identification of Rosewood to tell the difference.
