Also known as Ziricote, this rare species is only found in a small portion of Central America. Although it is denser than rosewood, Zericote is fairly easy to work with. The wood tends to develop end and surface checks during drying, which can be problematic, though the wood is stable once dry. Pieces are usually available in narrow boards or turning squares, with sapwood being very common. Zericote turns and finishes well, and in most instances, it can also be glued with no problems.
