Cocobolo is a dense and durable hardwood that comes from the Dalbergia retusa tree, primarily found in Central America. Known for its rich, reddish-brown color and striking grain patterns, it is highly sought after for fine furniture, musical instruments, and decorative items. This wood is not only beautiful but also resistant to moisture and insects, making it ideal for various applications. However, due to overharvesting and habitat loss, Cocobolo is considered a threatened species, leading to regulations on its trade to ensure sustainable use.
