Issues affecting the viability of the craft
- Supply of raw materials: As of 2 January 2017 all species of rosewood and some species of bubinga have been added to the CITES endangered list and a permit is required to export any items containing any species of rosewood. This may affect tool makers, stringed instrument makers and furniture makers.
