Blue Mahoe (Hibiscus elatus) is a rare and highly sought-after Caribbean hardwood celebrated for its unique blue-green coloration, beautiful grain patterns, and smooth workability. Ranging from teal and aqua hues to deep olive, gray, and even purple tones, Blue Mahoe is one of the most visually distinctive woods available to woodworkers and artisans.
