Sweeeeet Cocobolo burl..the nicest I have seen..the figure is mind blowing!!
What undoubtedly makes Cocobolo such a highly
desirable wood is its eye-catching appearance. Consisting of
orangish/reddish/brownish heartwood (often with dark traces weaving throughout)
and sharply contrasting yellowish sapwood, Cocobolo clearly belies any notion
that "a rosewood is a rosewood is a rosewood."
Extremely rare tropical rosewood, also known as Dalbergia Retusa, cocobolo belongs to the Papilionaceae family and comes from sub-canopy mid-sized tree found in the rainforest of Central America. It is actually the unique, poorly formed limbs of the Cocobolo that yield the most highly prized wood. Due to its rarity, this wood is very hard to find. It ranges from a gorgeous brick red to a rich, dark brown. Not only is this wood beautiful and rare, but it is so dense that is does not even absorb water, as opposed to many other hardwoods, but it is still valued for its beauty over its durability.
