Why Choose Cocobolo Bases?

Cocobolo wood is a dense, oily wood with a beautiful natural reddish-brown color and an intricate grain pattern. Cocobolo bases are a popular choice for table and furniture bases due to their durability and resistance to decay. The wood is also highly resistant to warping, cracking, and insect damage, making it a great choice for high-quality furniture pieces. Cocobolo bases are also highly customizable, as they can be shaped and finished to meet specific design preferences.

What Can Cocobolo Bases Be Used For?

Cocobolo bases are commonly used as table bases, but they can also be used for a variety of other furniture pieces such as benches, stools, and even guitar bodies. They are highly durable and resistant to decay, making them a great option for outdoor furniture. Additionally, cocobolo bases can be used as a statement piece in any room due to their unique and eye-catching color and grain patterns.

Are Cocobolo Bases Sustainable?

Cocobolo trees are native to Central America and are considered to be a rare and endangered species due to over-harvesting and deforestation. As a result, it is important to source cocobolo wood from responsibly managed forests or from salvaged sources to ensure that the environment and local communities are not negatively impacted by logging. Additionally, using cocobolo wood as a durable, long-lasting material for furniture pieces can be considered sustainable because it reduces the need for frequent replacements and the associated resource consumption. However, it is important to ensure that the wood is sourced responsibly to ensure its long-term sustainability.
