Rosewood is a beautiful, durable hardwood, but when it breaks, especially on vintage plane totes and knobs, you need more than basic wood glue. The oily nature of rosewood adds another layer of complexity that calls for a more specialized approach. For repairs where strength and precision matter, I turn to System Three epoxy.
It offers the right working time, bonds reliably, and cures strong without becoming brittle. Whether you are dealing with tight splits, horn breaks, or missing chips that need rebuilding, this epoxy gives you control throughout the process. It also accepts stain and finish well, allowing the repair to blend in instead of standing out.
If you have ever wondered how to repair rosewood cleanly and confidently, watch the video to see just how simple the process can be with the right method.
