Cocobolo spindle blank. Approximate blank size 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" x 12".  

Cocobolo, also known as 'Cocobola' comes from Central America. As a favorite at William Wood-Write, photos cannot do its brilliant colour justice. Even its scent is reminiscent of sweet spices. It holds a kaleidoscope of varying colours all the way from purple to orange. Its streaks and highlights make every piece unique. Its grain is interlocked and the wood has a fine texture and natural glow. Commonly prized, Cocobolo is a dense tropical wood that changes colour as its cut and worked with, producing more vivid colours as you go.
