Description

Ball point pen and pencil set hand turned from Cocobolo by Jim Parker, father of Jeff Parker, FEPS President.


Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood from the Dalbergia Retusa tree from Central America. The wood is typically orange or reddish-brown in color, often with darker irregular traces weaving through the wood.


Because of its beauty, high value, and rarity, Cocobolo is highly favored for fine furniture and cabinetry, fine inlay work, brush backs, knife handles, musical instruments, bowls, jewelry boxes, and other expensive specialty items.
