Back and Side Set - Bocote (Cordia elaeagnoides)

Density: 950 to 1200 kg/m³.

Bocote, native to Mexico, is a wood that stands out for both its performance and its aesthetics. It is commonly seen in handles of precision tools and turned pieces, where its stability and resistance to work are valued.

In instrument construction, bocote offers a quick and defined response, with good projection and a more focused character than other woods of similar density. It tends to feel "fast" under the hand, with good note separation and a clear attack.

Visually, it is one of the most distinctive woods: a light base with irregular dark grains that can vary from fine lines to more dramatic and organic patterns. No two sets are alike, and this variation is part of its appeal.

Furthermore, it is a naturally oily wood, which influences its workability and finish, and it is important to consider this during the construction process.
