"Little by little makes a great pile".
?Thinking in the "one tiny
little additional load won't hurt anything" mindset is exactly what got
us in the environmental binds we as a species are currently in.
Also, if you open the door for the restoration of a PDP-8 or two, then
the furniture restoration people will want the door opened for them as
well. And then the musical instrument people. Then the flooring and
panelling people. And so on.
As I said, and somehow seems to be being swept under the table, is
that rosewood is still available, but scarce and pricey. There is a
whole army of guys out there that take apart hopeless furniture (and
barns!) to get nice hunks of wood for restorations. It may be worth
talking to some of these guys, and getting in line for the wood you
want.
