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. |
