This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Cocobolo (dalbergia retusa) with Bocote (Cordia elaeagnoides) cap. Cocobolo is a true rosewood from Mexico with prominent darker streaking on the nice warm tone wood. It is a very dense wood that polish up nicely. The figure can be extremely extravagant in Cocobolo. Likewise, Bocote is another Mexican wood capable of wild figures. These two timbers do belong to each other. I wonder why it took me so long to put them togehter, but there they are, striking in this pretty acorn.
