Cocobolo:
Because of its great beauty and high value it has been heavily exploited and is now in danger of extinction outside of national parks and preserves. It is listed as threatened in " Costa Rica." The Wood: 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.
The kit comes shrinkwrapped for protection and contains:
Approx Glass size: 10*8 inches approx, overall frame size 11 3/4x 91/2 approx,
1 pack of impression clay - enough to have a few goes. The beauty of clay is that you can role it out again if you make a mistake or don't like the imprint. It will dry out so you won't be able to leave it and come back to it but all the time you work with it, it's soft. It's also air drying so no need to bake in your oven. Full instructions for use.
