Other names: Laurel, Indian Laurel

Laurel mainly comes from India, density of dry wood is about 800-850 kg/m3. Laurel is a cheaper replacement for rosewood, is lighter in colour than rosewoods, mostly the colour is light brown with darker lines (sometimes you can meet dark brown pieces or very pale). The wood is not so oily like rosewoods and pores are often more open and much longer, so sometimes they have to be filled. Laurel is warm sounding wood, similar to rosewoods. It is another species that replaces rosewoods in guitarmaking.
