If thats "Juara" , its a man made wood comprised of birch veneers dyed for
color (usually rosewood) and saturated with resin and cured under pressure
in a heated hydraulic press. Results in a rosewood substitute with
interesting edge grain appearance , very hard ,dense and uniform. Tough on
tools ..carbide will work. Very stable but expensive and probably not
available in large pieces. See: www.bridgecitytools.com
for info. and neat woodworking tools made of the stuff.
