Ziricote Cordia dodecandra
Description
Common Name:Ziricote
Scientific Name: Cordia dodecandra
Distribution:Central America and Mexico
Overall, Ziricote is fairly easy to work considering its high density. The wood tends to develop end and surface checks during drying, which can be problematic: though the wood is stable once dry. Also, pieces are usually available in narrow boards or turning squares, with sapwood being very common. Ziricote turns and finishes well, and in most instances, it can also be glued with no problems.
