I am very interested in trying linaloe wood oil. Does anyone know of a supplier. I looked it up and found only European companies that I'm not familiar with. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi The tree used to make musical instruments is Dalbergia nigra, common name Brazilian Rosewood. It is also endangered, but not used at all in EO production. Dalbergia latifolia (also used for musical instruments) is commonly known as Indian rosewood. Aniba roseodora (from Brazil) is taken exclusively for essential oil production, which involves the distruction of the whole tree - roots are said to contain a high % of oil.

Wow, Liz, that's an eye-opener. That's why it's always good to know the botanical names.

That's why it's always good to know > the botanical names. Hi Anya When I first started researching endangered species the claim from many suppliers that the RW oil they sold came *only* from wood chipping left over from furniture trade, kinda got me. I didn't see that the amount of RW on the market could possibly come from left overs. Then I landed on one or two sites selling *rosewood* items referencing Dalbergia nigra - and the penny dropped firmly into place! Looking up the common name/s for Dalbergia nigra I realised how the confusion/ misinformation arose. I checked it out with Barbara (lady in Amazonia who runs the AVIVE project) and she confirmed Aniba roseodora is the only rosewood used for oil. (Although some are now selling Ocotea Caudata as *Rosewood* these days...... think Tony has some info on his site about this as well.) Yep - botanical names are the only way to research plant information..or buy oils ;-) LLx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the D. nigra is not used for EO production (which you stated earlier) (yet endangered by manufacturing demands)....follow me now... then you found that the RW oil being sold came from wood chips from the furniture trade...then....via your contact with Barbara with AVIVE we see maybe O caudata is now being sold as RW, and maybe that's also from wood chips, like the D. nigra? Yow. Not logical, I know. OK, another take: some saying that the RW oils IS from the chips of D. nigra. O. caudata not used in process that produces wood chips, but is source of doppelganger RW oil. Wikipedia, NOT a very reliable source on info, never mentions Aniba http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosewood Tony on Aniba http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nodice/new/magazine/products/products.htm Off to make dinner with hopefully, no endangered anything in the pot.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 i have an old rosewood that i bought 12 years ago. it is still smelling great. i love it so much. i use it in a few recipes. i do not design with it anymore, and use it on the rare occasion personally. it does have an amazing vibration. i saw some recommendations fly by in this thread of replacements. i think i will check some of them out, thank you. can you tell me, what other plants are on the endangered lists? maybe that went by also, but i have been busy for a week....putting together a portfolio. thanks for all you do. xoxoooxoxo L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
