Custom Rings for Solid Woods

Bocote (Cordia alliodora) is a hard, dense, and fairly oily tropical wood that is highly prized for its dramatic, wild striping. These dark brown or black streaks, which sometimes form in concentric circles, give Bocote its defining look and lend finished products a truly distinctive appearance. The heartwood of Bocote ranges in color from brown to golden brown — with, of course, those telltale dark streaks weaving throughout — and its sapwood is yellowish. Bocote's grain can vary widely, from straight to interlocked. Bocote is a heavy wood, with a specific gravity ranging between 0.63 to 0.84, as well as dense (about 48 to 65 lbs. per cubic foot). It can be somewhat difficult to dry, tending to develop surface checking and end splitting, but it's also quite resistant to decay. Bocote is fairly easy to work with (due to its natural oils, though, it is sometimes difficult to glue), and polishes to a smooth finish. Also known as "Mexican Rosewood," Bocote is indigenous to Central America, South America, and, of course, Mexico. The trees, known scientifically as Cordia elaeagnoides, are typically medium sized, but can reach heights of about 100 feet.

Another masterpiece by Bryan Nelson. Fabulous hook and ergonomic. No one comes close to creating hooks. These are the only hooks that I will ever purchase.

Pick up an entire set of these, you will regret nothing. The craftsmanship is hands down better than any other This hook fits beautifully in my hand. It feels natural. But mostly, these hooks have ensured the craft is alive and well despite crippling joint pain (from hyper mobility disorder). Now crochet doesn’t cause pain. I will forever be grateful for this gift. Thank you.

I love my 1st hook from Bryan. It has the Boye metal tip and crochets beautifully. Already placed my 2nd order.
