Chechen is also known as Black Poisonwood or Caribbean Rosewood. It is not a true Rosewood, but can have a similar two-toned grain pattern and high polish that is very much like a true Dalbergia Rosewood. This species is used for furniture, cabinets, jewelry boxes, and humidors, as well as many other creative projects. Colors range from brown, pink, red, golden, and black embedded with a shimmering iridescence.
