Workability | Cocobolo has excellent turning properties.

Because of it's high oil content, cocobolo can occasionally cause problems with gluing and finishing. |

One Board foot = 144 Cubic Inches
Example: If you need a piece of wood 12 inches wide, 1 inch thick and 24 inches long, that is equal to 2 board feet.
12 inches x 1 inch x 24 inches = 288 inches. 288/ 144 = 2 board feet
