Found in Central and South America, Bocote (Cordia spp.) is a dark, heavy and dramatic wood -- striking in appearance -- with yellow-dark brown zebra-like contrasts and bold figuring. The color of this beauitiful wood tends to darken with age, and has a "waxy" appearance because of the natural oil luster present. Bocote is priced mid-to-high for our exotic hardwoods, and is moderately durable.
