Koko features medium to dark brown heartwood with golden or reddish undertones. Its grain is typically straight or gently interlocked, giving finished projects a warm, understated elegance. When polished, Koko takes on a natural luster that enhances its silky grain patterns.
Because of its refined appearance, Koko is often compared to Black Walnut—but with a deeper, more exotic tone.
Durable, Stable & Easy to Work
Koko strikes the perfect balance between hardness and workability. It is dense enough to support crisp details but not so hard that it overwhelms tools. It cuts smoothly and sands quickly to a glass-like finish.
