High Leap Sailfish Cocobolo Wood Carving

Cocobolo takes a high polish, and this High Leap Sailfish wears it well. It arcs up from a ridged oval base on its tail, short snout forward, a fin on its back and two side fins held out. Fine straight grain runs the length of the dark brown body.

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. All profits go right back into the artisan community, supporting education, medical care, land, tools, and daily needs. Buying a MolaMagic carving means you are part of that story too.
