The cabinets were created from specially purchased Honduras mahogany and Indian rosewood. The pole is usually made from sheesham (Indian rosewood) polished with castor oil. Another classic rosewood comes from "Dalbergia latifolia" known as (East) Indian rosewood or "sonokeling" (Indonesia). "Dalbergia sissoo" (Indian rosewood) is primarily used for furniture in northern India. Indian Rosewood or Sonokeling have been heavily used in furniture given their colour and grain.
