Product Description

Cocobolo (Dalbergia retusa) is a premium tropical hardwood prized for its intense color, dramatic figure, and exceptional density. The wood displays rich blends of orange, red, and reddish-brown with bold dark streaks and swirling grain that make every piece visually striking. Cocobolo turns extremely well with sharp tools, producing smooth cuts and crisp detail. Its high natural oil content allows it to polish to a glass-like finish, often with minimal finishing products. When properly dried, cocobolo is very stable and durable, making it ideal for precision and high-end turning projects. Common uses include turning blanks, pens, tool handles, knife scales, musical instruments, and decorative turnings.
