Kosso

Kosso Wood Collection – Premium African Hardwood for Turning, Carving & Fine Craftsmanship

Explore the natural beauty and strength of Kosso wood (also known as Pterocarpus erinaceus or African Rosewood) in our curated collection of turning blanks, knife scales, lumber, and craft-ready blocks. Kosso is prized by woodworkers for its rich reddish-brown tones, striking dark streaks, and excellent durability, making it a top-tier exotic hardwood for high-end custom projects.

Rich Color, Distinctive Grain & Exceptional Stability

Kosso wood stands out with its vibrant rosewood-like coloration ranging from golden brown to deep red, often enhanced by dramatic dark veining. Its grain is generally straight or gently interlocked, giving each piece a bold yet refined appearance that polishes to a stunning natural sheen.

With a density that supports fine detail yet remains workable, Kosso offers an ideal balance of hardness, stability, and visual beauty.
