Plus, burning and clearances for agriculture, etc., are generally a much larger threat to forests than targeted extraction for uses such as guitars. Still, I didn't want to let guitars off the hook. <br /><br />From what I've read, husbandry would suffice to provide rosewood stocks down the road. The problem (as with elephant ivory) is that on the world market it becomes very difficult to distinguish legal from illegal stocks.Jim Millwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011806882053250417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044985857547183006.post-26903279197747164022010-03-17T11:48:40.542-07:002010-03-17T11:48:40.542-07:00Y. said...

In other words, have guitars/guitar players made the rosewood an endangered specie? This reminds me of whale hunting. Every year when native Americans hunt whales at Neah Bay, some environmentalists show up to battle them. This hunting mostly serves a ceremonial, instead of practical, purpose. With a few men on a small boat, sometimes they succeed in catching a whale, sometimes they fail. What has made whales into an endagered specie is commercial hunting, but native Americans are bearing the consequence. Are there some similarities here in the case of rosewood? Certainly the smugglers today are breaking the law and smuggling the wood for commercial purposes, but was guitar making the original criminal to endanger rosewood?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000743885537216940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1044985857547183006.post-49077900765352974332010-03-17T11:44:09.504-07:002010-03-17T11:44:09.504-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000743885537216940noreply@blogger.com
