Description of Wood: Hues of steely blues, metal greys, deep purples and various shades of greens and browns, weave to create chatoyances that delight the eye. The sapwood has a pale elegant grain, white and brown in color.
Why is Blue Mahoe called Blue Mahoe when it varies through so many colors?
Because of its bluey green shades it was called Blue Mahoe to distinguish it from its relative, the seaside mahoe (Hibiscus tiliaceus L.)
The wood has a musical quality and has been traditionally used in the making of cuatros, (puertorican guitars). Fine boxes, furnitures, inlay works, floors, details, turned pieces, exquisite jewelleries, sculptures, and ancient board games, have been, and demand to be transformed from the Mahoe. Architects, furniture-makers, designers, artists & wood lovers will find a charm in working with this wood. It has fine sanding and turning qualities, and a natural gloss in the wood when finely finished.
