Cocobolo - Orange to dark with deep figure

Note: Hogue will not warranty wood or G10 grips for the S&W 500, 460 and Governor as severe recoil can crack the grip.

Of all the fancy hardwoods, Cocobolo features the most dramatic contrasts between light and dark swirls of beautiful heartwood figuring. It loves a polished finish and our craftsmen burnish Cocobolo to a glassy, high gloss shine, especially if you choose a smooth grip finish. Feast your eyes on gorgeous yellow, orange and reddish-browns mixed with dark, irregular traces of deep purple and black, weaving through the wood in straight or interlocked grain. Cocobolo is a popular choice for gun grip and knife makers for several reasons: it’s very hard and fine textured, it stands up well in hard use and it looks great!
