Bocote
Bocote (Cordia spp.) is a striking exotic hardwood prized for its dramatic grain and rich color contrast. The wood ranges from golden yellow to light brown, boldly marked with dark brown or nearly black swirling lines and figuring that make each piece visually unique.
Bocote turns well with sharp tools, producing smooth cuts and crisp detail. Its fine to medium texture and natural oils allow it to sand and polish to a high luster, often with minimal finishing. When properly dried, bocote offers good stability, though its density benefits from controlled cuts on the lathe.
Common uses include turning blanks, pens, tool handles, knife scales, bowls, and decorative turnings.
