Blue Mahoe

Blue Mahoe Wood Collection

The Blue Mahoe Collection highlights the vibrant and exotic beauty of Blue Mahoe (Hibiscus elatus), a tropical hardwood native to the Caribbean, particularly Jamaica. Known for its striking blue-green heartwood and warm golden-brown streaks, Blue Mahoe offers dramatic color variation and figure that makes each piece unique and visually captivating.

Botanical Information & Trade Names:

Blue Mahoe belongs to the Malvaceae family. In the woodworking trade, it is also sometimes referred to simply as Mahoe or Caribbean Mahoe, though “Blue Mahoe” is the most common designation due to its vivid coloration.

Blue Mahoe machines cleanly and holds crisp detail while polishing to a smooth, high-luster finish. Its moderate density and stability make it ideal for pen blanks, call blocks, bottle stoppers, knife handles, and other precision-turned items. The striking blue and green tones, combined with golden highlights, make it especially dramatic when incorporated into hybrid or stabilized resin designs.

The Blue Mahoe Collection is perfect for craftsmen seeking a premium exotic hardwood with bold figure, unique color, and reliable turning performance. Each piece carries natural character and depth, making finished projects one-of-a-kind.
