I'm not familiar with the term Santos Rosewood, but Pau Ferro (which appears to be the same thing) is a fairly common wood used in firearms grips, electric guitar fingerboards, fancy wood carvings and pretty much anywhere cocobolo would be used.

Pau Ferro, like Cocobolo, can cause sever reactions when breathing the dust so the general precaution of having good dust extraction equipment on hand is recommended.
