Cocobolo Bowl 7974
Bowl number 7974 is a hand turned bowl made from Exotic Cocobolo. Each of my bowls are signed, numbered and dated (year). They are finished with a friction polish that's applied while still on the lathe.
This bowl measures 6" across and is 3" high.
COCOBOLO - (Dalbergia retusa) Is a Central America wood. Cocobolo can be seen in a kaleidoscope of different colors, ranging from yellow, orange, red, and shades of brown with streaks of black or purple. Sapwood is typically a very pale yellow.
One of the prized lumbers for its outstanding color and figure; yet also one of the most infamous for its difficulty in gluing, and its tendency to cause allergic reactions in woodworkers.
Common uses are fine furniture, musical instruments, turnings, and other small specialty objects.
