Cocobolo Rosewood - 200 turning squares 1 x 1 x 6 inches long kiln dried

Description

200 solid cocobolo rosewood pen blanks 1 x 1 inch squares that are 6 inches long. These are true cocobolo rosewood with the scientific name dalbergia retusa . They are from an extremely dry area in Nicaragua and have very tight growth rings and lots of burls, swirls, and beautiful colors (reds, yellows, oranges, and lots of black stripes!) These blanks have been end sealed with anchorseal wax (an inert, emulsified bees wax that is organic and so safe you could eat it) so that the wood dries evenly and slowly in our kilns. We have low temperature dehumidifaction kilns so the wood dries slowly and will not have stresses, checking, and problems associated with high temperature kiln drying. All of our cocobolo turning blanks have been kiln dried. Beware of green wood that has moisture pockets inside and will change its size and dimensions. These blanks are all 100% heartwood and have amazing figure. Nicaragua cocobolo usually sells for more per board foot compared to Mexican Cocobolo that is softer and not as highly figured. This cocobolo comes from an extremely dry part of Nicaragua along the south eastern Pacific coast and is world class. Kiln Dried! We have a platinum reputation for quality and service and can usually ship the same day that you order.
