A tropical hardwood, common Cocobolo trees are a type of rosewood that is tropical and grows about 20-25 feet in height.
Cocobolo is highly prized for fine woodwork, and is oily in look and feel. This oil lends a strong, unmistakable floral odor. Standing up well to repeated handling and exposure to water, a common use is in gun grips and knife handles. It is very hard, fine textured and dense. Due to its density and hardness, even a large block of the cut wood will produce a clear musical tone if struck. Cocobolo can be polished to a lustrous, glassy finish.
