This Medium Custom "K" Style Mug is made from Central American Cocobolo. The twin dragon design is inlaid with Abalone Shell.
Cocobolo is a truly exquisite exotic wood that remains in high demand. It is renowned for its often amazing array of colors and for being an extremely dense, stable and durable wood.
This species is in CITES Appendix II, and is on the IUCN Red List. It is listed as “Vulnerable,” due to a population reduction of over 20% in the past three generations.
There has been a lot of heavy poaching going on throughout Central America — particularly in Mexico — and this wood is the most coveted in the entire region. Get this wood while you can, as its exportation will more than likely only become more restricted in the near future.
6" tall, holds approximately 20 ounces.
Care Instructions: Our mugs are fully sealed, and never need to be oiled or cared for as some wood products do. They are not dishwasher or microwave safe. You can wash them with warm soapy water and a sponge.
