Wave Rider Dolphin Cocobolo Wood Carving

Cocobolo sinks in water, but this Wave Rider Dolphin looks ready to leap right out of it. It surges forward over a rocky carved base, with a smiling snout, a curved fin and a smooth back. Bands of lighter orange brown run through the dark wood like water in motion.

Cocobolo is a tropical hardwood from the Pacific side of Panama and Central America. It is so dense it sinks in water, and its natural oils polish to a soft, warm shine. Fresh cut, the wood shows orange and red tones with dark streaks; with age the colors deepen, so no two carvings ever look alike.

Each piece is carved by hand in Panama, in the wood carving traditions of the Emberá and Wounaan peoples. Their carvers have long chosen cocobolo for figures of the animals and plants of the rainforest around them.

MolaMagic was founded by Janet Marie Brockman with a simple but powerful mission: to help artisans in Panama share their art with the world.
