[QUOTE="Kelly Graziano, post: 11109717, member: 86665"]Hello everyone, I recently purchased a carved rosewood club and would love to get your thoughts on it. The piece has deep grooves along the shaft that seem to serve as finger grips, as well as notches carved just above the grip. The overall balance feels intentional rather than decorative. The wood is heavy, very dense, with a rich reddish-brown patina that suggests age. It weighs 1.6 lbs and is just over 14" long. I’ll attach photos for reference. Any insights—comparisons, book references, or even educated guesses—would be very welcome. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.[ATTACH=full]536679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]536682[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
