Cocobolo pen blanks. Approx. 3/4" square x 5" long
Cocobolo, also known as "Cocobola," is a dense tropical hardwood from Central America that offers a stunning range of colour and figure. A long-time favourite at William Wood-Write, this wood features an incredible mix of purples, oranges, reds, and browns—often with dramatic streaks and highlights that make each blank truly one-of-a-kind.
Its interlocked grain, fine texture, and natural luster give it a smooth finish and beautiful depth. Cocobolo even gives off a sweet, spicy scent when worked. As you cut and turn it, its colours become even more vibrant, making it a joy to work with on the lathe.
Each blank is selected at random and may vary from the image shown. Ends are waxed.
Price is per blank, in Canadian dollars.
