Hello

I am starting a new project soon. the plans call for Brazilian Rosewood .
the problem is none is available.
so I would like some possible recommendation for a similar type of wood .
the project involves wooden gears.
so stability is important. any suggestion will be greatly appreciated

Not Brazilian, but others rosewoods are he
