Red Sandalwood

It’s a hard and durable exotic timber which is so dense that it actually sinks in water. Highly prized for luxurious furniture, instrument-parts, fine-carvings such as chess-pieces, as a food and textile red dye, and for herbal medicine purposes. 

Historically, the red Sandal wood tree was used in China for making forbidden city furniture, which was used by emperors of the Qing dynasty, and today this timber is one of the most expensive and in-demand.
