Appearance: Cocobolo wood showcases a rich colour range from deep orange to reddish-brown with striking dark streaks. The heartwood’s vibrant hues contrast beautifully with the lighter sapwood, creating a natural gradient that deepens over time.
Grain and Texture: With a typically straight to interlocked grain and a fine, even texture, Cocobolo offers a smooth finish. Its natural luster adds a luxurious sheen when polished.
Workability: Despite its density, Cocobolo is relatively easy to work with using sharp tools. It sands and polishes well, though its natural oils can make gluing challenging.
Durability: Cocobolo is highly resistant to rot, decay, and insect attacks, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its durability ensures long-lasting beauty.
