If you can afford solid rosewood furniture, your wallet weight must
buckle your knees.

Although this site is in Texas, you might enjoy looking here also.

There's rosewood and there's other stuff called rosewood. That site
has bedsteads that are not priced out of sight at about £2,500. I once
walked into a furniture store in Vancouver's Chinatown.
Almost everything was labeled "rosewood". Although the furniture was
not cheap (e.g. Ethan Allen type prices), I'm pretty sure it did not
come from Dalbergia species. Neat stuff in the store, mostly coming
from China and all joints were mitred.

I'll second that recomendation. Pity Michael didn't put up pics
of his home, which is above his shop. Maple floors (scrounged
from a gym floor), coffered ceiling with graduated width strips
of cedar, wider at the walls, thinner in the center, cherry 6 and
9 light upper kitchen cabinets, flat panel bottom cabinets, all
drawers dovetailed. Most of the furniture is his early works.

Nice to know there are folks who do what they love to do and
make a living at it.

If that stuff's genuine (i.e. really is made in the UK, and really is
made from decent timber, even if it's not a dalbergia) then those are
some very keen prices for that quality of work. I really like the
breakfront cabinet for £2500
