Guatemalan Cocobolo

The Material Archive

Protected under CITES regulations and classified as a vulnerable species, Cocobolo is renowned for its extraordinary natural oils. So rich in resin is the wood that it can be polished to an almost glass-like finish without the need for any treatment or coating. Its color continues to evolve after cutting, revealing a striking palette that ranges from vivid orange to deep burgundy, intertwined with black and violet veining—a transformation that no other material can truly replicate. In cue making, its exceptional hardness translates into a distinctive sense of solidity and presence at impact, delivering a hit that feels both powerful and unmistakably alive.
