Ever wonder how we get our Cocobolo?
Selective cutting is designated by forestry officials and woods are removed by permit only
Trees are measured to calculate the highest yield per cut and to not waste these valuable tropical woods
Careful harvesting is practiced to not damage surrounding areas,

Piece by our customer John Fry
John Fry is furniture builder in North Los Angeles. He built this commissioned piece with wood that he purchased from us. It is an Asian Striped Ebony and Wenge "drum" table that was made with all bent lamination construction. He resawed the striped Asian ebony into 1/16" veneers and vac press laminated them on a form. Always great to see our woods once the projects are finished

Down by the Belize border-1986
Here I am next to a few huge Mahogany logs at a mill in Southern Mexico on the Belize border around 1986. These logs were trucked over from Guatemala through Belize. Not many are left.
They are milled into lumber and put into a drying rack standing up.
This allows the wood to dry naturally and take on a dark color. This method is not usually used today as suppliers want to KD the lumber to get it out faster. I have a pile of Mahogany that was dried like this from the 1950's.

Check out this board!!!
This Koa piece came to me in a purchase of wood that had been stored in San Diego since 1950. The former owner was a commander in the U.S. Navy and would bring back wood on the ship he was on. I also purchased some old Honduras Mahogany with nice color in the same load. It make you wonder what is still out there to be discovered.
