Cocobolo

Product Description

Cocobolo has a high mechanical strength in all categories, and is heavy, tough and strong. It works reasonably well with machine and hand tools, but cutting edges must be kept sharp. Cocobolo has a moderate blunting effect on cutting tools.

The natural oils in the wood make it difficult to glue, but it can be nailed and screwed satisfactory. Worked surfaces from planing, turning, moulding and mortising come out very smooth and clean. It takes stain and can be brought to an excellent finish.
