Kingwood
Also known as Violetwood, this is a very heavy wood from Central
America. It turns and machines well, but its dust is a serious
irritant to some people. Kingwood is well suited for inlays, decorative
items and furniture accents mainly due to its high price tag.
One of the true tropical rosewoods, Cocobolo is a very beautiful wood, ranging from a beautiful rich dark brick red, to reddish or dark brown, with a figuring of darker
irregular traces weaving through the wood. It is fine textured and oily
in look and feel. The wood has excellent working characteristics and
the natural oils give the wood a natural luster. Cocobolo is highly
durable and strong, but, because of its scarcity and high value, it is
used for its rare beauty rather than its strength or durability. Only
small amounts of this prized wood reach the world market, and usually
in pieces of small dimension. Cocobolo is highly favored for fine
furniture and cabinetry, fine inlay work, brush backs, knife handles,
musical instruments, decorative and figured veneers, bowls, jewelry
boxes, and other expensive specialty items. Because of its great beauty and high value, Cocobolo has been heavily exploited and is now in danger of
extinction outside of national parks and preserves. |
