Walnut has been a popular ornamental wood because of its durability, beauty, and smoothness to the touch. Walnut has a mostly straight grain and polishes to a high sheen.
Sheesham is also referred to as Indian Rosewood. Native to India, Pakistan and Nepal, it is primarily found growing along river banks and is best known internationally as a premier timber species of the Rosewood genus. Sheesham is among the finest ornamental timbers and makes spectacular chess pieces!
