Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species

C.I.T.E.S is an international agreement between governments focused on ensuring that international trade does not threaten the survival of endangered wild animals and plants. Our rosewood burl is recovered from stumps and logs left behind by Belizean loggers over a century ago. We do NOT, nor have we EVER, cut down rosewood trees, and do NOT contribute to unethical deforestation.

Frequently Asked Question:
Hasn't Honduran Rosewood made a noticeable recovery and been removed from "endangered" to "protected?"
​
Answer:
First, a distinction must be made between "straight grain" and "burl." Honduran rosewood trees have been replanted on tree farms in Central America. Slow-growing, it takes many years for a tree to reach the minimum 4” diameter for the harvest of  "straight grain." But the only way to possibly produce a mammoth "burl" the size of an easy chair is to leave the tree alone for 1000 years or more. And, remember, the occurrence of burl still happens only in about one out of 500 rosewood trees. So, no. It’s over. Mother Nature won’t be making any more. For this reason, Honduran Rosewood Burl is an excellent financial investment. It can never be replenished on Planet Earth. 

"A rosewood burl work-of-art represents the heavenly after-life of a tree, a second chance to live on as a breathtaking reincarnation of natural living beauty, the means by which a tree can become truly immortal." ~NK~
