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.
as with all my peices it is signed dated, numbered and has the name of the wood engraved into the base. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity on parchment paper
This is a one of a kind peice and once its gone its gone!
